For a library, data files go in C:\Program Files\Common Files\$pkgid. There's a very good reason for this: a library cannot discover its installation location like an executable can, because it could be linked in to an executable anywhere on the system. Hence if a library needs access to auxiliary data files, they better be in a fixed place in the filesystem.
If a library needs auxiliary data files, how are they meant to get installed when someone makes a binary release of a program available? Thanks Ian
