In my app.config I put
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="%programdata%/log-file.txt"/>
but it didn't work. Any ideas?

A:
The log4net syntax for expanding environment variables is "${Variable}" e.g.
<file value="${LOCALAPPDATA}\GojiSoft\GojiLog\log.txt" />

is this syntax log4net specific? will it work in other settings?

@Jader This is specifically implemented in log4net.

While your example works fine, ${PROGRAMDATA} doesn't work. But I think it's some kind of permission problem.

@Jader The owner of the process needs to have permission to write to the specified location.
