App deployment on Windows

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

I needed to build file paths on Mac OSX and on Windows,
in my cross-platform SplashStack, so I needed the system
Disk ID for Windows (which MAY NOT be "C").

On Windows XP, I used

"put line 1 of the volumes into MyPCDrive"

which gave the system disk, whatever it was !

On Windows 7, the first entry in the volumes list is "A"
(for some strange reason), and so I had to find an
alternative solution.

Mark came up with a work-around :

"put item 1 of specialfolderpath("system") into Temp"

Then strip out non-useful info to reveal system disk ID.

A sure-fire way of building file paths.

FWIW
