Mike,

I give them the option to change it. I use the {sd} constant for the System
Drive.
DefaultDirName={sd}\VFPProgramFolder

When installing files I use the {app} constant which maps to what the user
selected, or left as default. 
Source: "C:\Build\VFPProgram.Exe"; DestDir: "{app}";

We have troubles when the user decides to put it in Program Files on a
Windows 7 machine. They call us, they uninstall then reinstall using the
default path and all is better.
