Sarah: There are a limited number of locations Revolution can be installed by default. The idea that you can not iterate through them in reverse order to find the current default location.... I prefer to speak in the positive, let's try again...
I believe you should either: 1: Clearly explain your requirements so that the user can move the file for you or 2: Use logic and your understanding of the normal Revolution installation process to figure out the installation location.
