Hello all,

We must use a third party application which can only be installed in user home directory. We'd like to create a GPO to manage user settings, and configure a handler for this application.

Is it possible to use an environnement variable (for example %LOCALAPPDATA%) in the path of a handler ?

Thank you.

So in order to make those variables work, you use expandable="true" in the ADMX and I honestly don't know if that works with MULTI_SZ (which we are using).

Can you open an issue here:

and I'll take a look?
