I've been thinking a lot about this lately-- and I'm leaning on the side
of creating next versions of my apps as mostly portable from now on.
Portable apps have the distinguishing feature they are entirely
self-contained in a single folder and can even be stored on USB drives
if the user wishes. They are easy to install and delete and move, as
well as maintain. For more info on portable apps check out:

Any thoughts about this before I take the leap?
The thread "checking removable drives" in this archive has some
discussion on this:

One solution is for the app to attempt to write to its own folder, and
if that fails then it writes where the OS vendor recommends.
Another is to use a DriveType external. Mark Weider was kind enough to
send me his.
