I am writing a package that requires an MSWin user to download and

among other things a special _vimrc or _gvimrc file with some F key
designations. The problem is I don't know where to put the _vimrc on
the user's system via a zip file. I am dealing with naive users so I
don't want to burden them with command line manipulations. Is it
sufficient to place the user _vimrc file in the user's own folder or
is additional manipulation needed?
If your users are the only users of the computer, the default _gvimrc
location will work fine. The default is C:\Program Files\Vim\vimxx
\_gvimrc.
If multiple users of the same computer need different _gvimrc files,
you'll have to set up some environment variables and store the files
in a user-specific directory,
like C:\Documents and Settings\username\Vim.
See :help win32 (which is available even if you're not running on
Windows) for all the details.
