On Macs, a very common approach is just to ask the user. You see this
with installers and updaters all the time. Most installers will put up a
file dialog with the prompt: "Locate the copy of <application name> to
update:" and the user simply finds it.
This may not be as automatic as you'd like (in which case Kevin's
suggestion of using a custom creator code to locate the app is a good
one) but it is very straightforward, and because it is so routinely done
on the Mac, no one will question it at all.
