Then you're hosed.

This is why installer programs are important for Windows; the installer
asks the user where they want to install the app, and then sets the
registry accordingly. It is unlikely that people will move the app
*after* it has been installed (it's an acknowledged no-no).

Do you have an installer for the Windows version of BJG?
