If it makes registry entries, chek the registry.  Then confirm its
existence by checking for physical files.  If you can, get the path
from the registry entry - or you will ahve to either:
1) Ask the user
2) Search all the local hard drives to see if they exist

Best solution is if the app exposes a COM interface - just try and
create it.
