Typically a package installs into well known folders such as
ProgramFilesFolder or ProgramMenuFolder, etc. Those may be on separate
drives and are easy to author.

In your case it sounds like you need to set a couple custom directories. To
do that, you'll need to do something to find those directories. AppSearch
would make it very easy since it could set the Property with the same name
as a Directory and you'd be done. Otherwise, you'll need to do a SetProperty
to set the Directory directly.
