<br><tt><font size=2>I'm afraid yes. This way you'll not only avoid the
64bit-mess, but the language-mess too. At least on XP, %PROGRAMFILES% is
different for every supported locale of XP. Vista and later kinda solved
this by going a way similar to OSX (using localized paths in the gui but
english underneath). If you want to stay compatible, c: is the easiest
solution.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>You could also go check the installer variables -
maybe the installer exports a property for putting only the relevant datafiles
somewhere else.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Or (finally) for your projects you could try SUBSTing
the data to a drive letter - that way your SUBST-Script (that you should
put in a login script or maybe a start script) is configurable, but the
data is always at the same place. We do this for a few ancient software
packages.</font></tt>
