That's exactly what the registry is for - holding information about e.g. the
location of your application. Make your app maintain a registry entry, and
read this value whenever you need to locate it.
While it's a good thing to take alternative apps locations into
concideration, most users install using default path. You may then ask the
user to locate the application manually, or start a search for the file in
question. *if* the registry trick isn't an option...
