[Tutor] how do I find where my program is installed?

[Jeff Peery]

hello, I created an executable using py2exe and innosetup for windows. I need to figure out where the user has installed my program so that I can direct the program to the installation files that it needs to run. I ran into this problem because I have a file type that my program reads and I have registered this type in the windows registry so that when this file type is double clicked my application is launched. when this happens my program thinks the working directory is the directory where that registered file was located... not the installation directory where it should be working in.... needless to say that lots of things go wrong when my program is launched this way. so I need to tell my program to set the working directory back to the installation directory... but where is this?

thanks!
Jeff
