What we do when shipping our applications :
We always have the system configuration looking at a file, ini or cfg or
whatever you tell it to look at, then when you install this package you get
installshield or whatever distribution tool your using to prompt the user for
specific locations names etc.
You then record these settings to your config file and once your system
starts , it's got all the settings needed to operate on the new environment.
I think it's a small time investment for the reward.
Otherwise in SQL there's good amount of system procs available to get
database names, hosts etc.
Hope this help.
