It's the same deal.  Most times the Program Files folder
will be just fine.  If it isn't let the user specify a 
location.  I routinely install (via my installer) software
onto users systems (they download it and the installer
puts it in the default position - Program Files - in
a folder with my company name.  Below that folder I
put the application name and below that again I put the
data directory.  Generally database and configuration
files go in the data directory).  In the fifteen years
of Windows 32 I've not had a situation where the Program
Files folder was a problem.  Those who wanted to install
elsewhere are given the option at install time.

Cheers

Scott
