- Me too. It's funny how my pee cee at home has a directory structure
- similar to my Unix machine here in the office.

- On a relative's computer, I installed the Windows Entertainment Pack and
- Microsoft Money. Both packages asked me where to install the binaries.
- While I didn't pick names like yours, the Windows Entertainment Pack was
- installed in c:\windows\wep and MS Money in c:\windows\money. This is
- not the "default" locations, I told the installation to put them there.
- So it can be done.
