Where is the nuget cache located for the LOCAL SYSTEM account?

The nuget cache for a user account is normally located under
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache.
But where is it to be found for the LOCAL SYSTEM account? This special user has no ordinary profile.

This combination is a quite common scenario for a build server, e.g. TeamCity.

Solution

  • On a 32-bit machine it's located under
    %windir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache.

    On a 64-bit machine it's located under
    %windir%\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache.
