obviously it depends :)

(fresh)
win9x - windows
winnt4/5 - winnt
winxp - windows

(overwritten)
win9x -> winxp - windows
win9x -> winnt5 - windows
winnt5 -> winxp - winnt

some users may also use different directories... but IMO they should be 
smart enough to know where they have installed windows.
just do something like
Win9x:
copy to %WINDIR%\system
Winnt4/2000/XP:
copy to %SystemRoot%\system32
