Please repeat after me: EVERY pathname which may contain blanks has to be
quoted!

Both "Local Settings" and "Application Data" exist only on english (or MUI)
installations of Windows NT 5.x.

The localized directory names but can be constructed as follows:

SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set LocalizedAPPDATA=!APPDATA:%USERPROFILE%=%%~i!
If /I "%TEMP:~-5,5%" == "\TEMP" Set LocalizedLOCALAPPDATA=%TEMP:~0,-5%!LocalizedAPPDATA:%USERPROFILE%=!


An alternative (straightforward) way to construct LOCALAPPDATA in *.CMD:

Call :DIRNAME "%TEMP%"
Call :BASENAME "%APPDATA%"

Set LOCALAPPDATA=%DIRNAME%%BASENAME%
Set BASENAME=
Set DIRNAME=
Goto :EOF

:BASENAME
Set BASENAME=%~nx1
Goto :EOF

:DIRNAME
Set DIRNAME=%~dp1
Goto :EOF
