In C++, I think I'd start with the path functions. If
you have a path from the browse for the installation folder,
PathGetDriveNumber will return a number from 0 to 25 corresponding to A: through
Z:
I did a quick test - include shlwapi.h and link to shlwapi.lib, and
PathGetDriveNumber on "C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents" returns 2 as expected.
