How to reference the installation folder of a game, for save and config data, on Windows?

I'm editing a game's article that has its save and config data in the same folder where the game is installed (on Windows).

How to reference that folder in the save/config data section? The same way that the %APPDATA%/LocalLow folder is written like {{p|userprofile}}\AppData\LocalLow\

Basically I want something like "Steam_library_folder", but not knowing on which drive each person will have it installed (could be in C:, in D:, in etc...)

I've looked at this page, Glossary:Game data (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Game_data#Installation_folder) but I don't see what I'm looking for.
