Hi Thile, you are right concerning the Program Files directory. It is not as flexible as beeing able to install it in any given directory. To achiev that, the simples way would be to use the path the program was started from. You then would only have to specify the path, if the config file was outside the ClamAv directory structure. Nevertheless using %programFiles% would at least help to install it on every given localized windows version.
