If youre going to stick with it, you could put a default install path of C:\My Documents but get the user to verify the path is correct and browse for the right one if not.
The reason why im putting in a auto install is that so many people find it hard to install maps, most people don't bother reading the readme so they try putting the maps in any odd place and then I get emails when it doesn't work. I fear it will be worse with a mod. Also using the -mod command line means that the user would have to create a shortcut with a specfic target the auto installer can do that for them.

If I coudn't find a way to get it to find the Command and Conquer Data Generals Direct then I was just going to put a message next to the directory select telling the user to select there Command and Conquer Generals Direct but it would be much simpiler of that was already selected.
