ProgramFiles

This environment variable points to the program files directory which is typically but doesn't have to be "C:\Program Files" (for both 32 bit and 64 bit programs).

On a 64 bit OS running a 32 bit program it will point to the 32 bit program files directory which is typically but doesn't have to be "C:\Program Files (x86)".
