On installation you should set up a registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\YourApplicationName

... and add the key ....

InstallationDirectory 

... with the path where you installed the package.

As Example,

Name: HKLM\Software\YourApplicationName\InstallationDirectory
Type: REG_SZ
Data: "C:\Program Files\YourApplicationName"


Then you can use,

gchar*  install_dir;

install_dir =  g_win32_get_package_installation_directory
                                            ("YourApplicationName",
                                             NULL);
chdir((const gchar*) install_dir);

g_free(install_dir);



Hope this helps.
