设置和部署项目中系统驱动器的默认位置

Question

I have a setup and deployment project in Visual Studio 2010

The default location of Application Folder is set to C:\\[Appname]

The problem is that if there is no drive C: in the machine the app is being installed, the installer will crash with an error " 'xxxxxxxx' is not a valid file name " or something similar, because the installer verifies the location before the user has a chance to set the actual application installation folder. (so the default location is validated and since drive c: is missing it throws this error)

You can set the location to something like [ProgramFilesFolder] \\[AppName] etc..

I would like to know what is the "macro" for the system's windows drive ! I would expect something like [WindowsDrive] or [SystemDrive] or something like that so that I could set the default location to [SystemDrive]\\[Appname] , for instance!

Does anybody know?
