tRev

[Generic Email]

Sarah:

There are a limited number of locations Revolution can be installed by default.
The idea that you can not iterate through them in reverse order to find the current default location.... I prefer to speak in the positive, let's try again...

I believe you should either:
1: Clearly explain your requirements so that the user can move the file for you 
or
2: Use logic and your understanding of the normal Revolution installation process to figure out the installation location.

Please accept my heartfelt recommendation to make this process simpler by distributing an installer if you need to be in a very specific place, and include a link from /Applications/tRev, as it in fairly standard. Or include a README.txt in the zip with the .app. Or something.
