That may be better, or not. If clamav is installed to the default program directory you are right. But the command line option is still needed to choose a totally different application directory, lets say z:\antivirus\clamav. The system wide environment variable would not help in that case. The only possibility apart from the command line would be to let the installer write the path to the registry and clamd.exe use that value and the relative path \conf\clamd.conf to locate the config file. I for myself like programs, that don't use the registry. I am happy that Nigel offers the files comprising clamav apart from the installer msi, so upgrading is just stop the daemon and copy over, uninstalling is just deleting.

Hardcoding a path was a common problem in the past, but should stay in the past. Just my 2 Ct.
