Well, you choose where to install as part of the installation process, so
this is just a case of choosing somewhere you can put the files.

These are more of a problem then (that's why I put in the IIRC ;).  Do you
know if it is possible to register an Outlook plug-in without these keys?
If it is, then I'd be happy to modify the SpamBayes registration, if
possible.
