It actually does; it is rather confusing though. :/ It's referring to KNOWNFOLDERID constant FOLDERID_ProgramData. The actual on disk location for this has changed over windows versions. As noted below in the SO link given:

"Note that this documentation refers to the typical path as per older versions of Windows. In modern versions of Windows it is located in %SystemDrive%\ProgramData."
