Can you find a reference to the folder using UltraEdit32? If so, and
you're lucky, you can change that path and re-write the exe. It's been
quite a while since I've needed to hack a program like this but it
works. I used to do it with DOS programs fairly often.

Either that or use UltraEdit32 to find the folder it wants and make sure
there's one by the same name.
