 `ProgramFiles` is an environment variable, not a registry entry. Type:
 {{{
 set programfiles
 }}}
 at a command prompt to see its value.

 The value is set from the registry key
 {{{
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir
 }}}

 The GRASS-Installer.nsi file doesn't contain any hard-coded reference to
 "Program Files"; it uses the $PROGRAMFILES variable, which the installer
 is supposed to auto-detect at run-time.
