What's wrong with the way it's done by everybody else?
Have hardcoded paths (determined at configure time), and allow override
using a config file. Have a command line option for saying where the
config file should be.
For Windows, replace config file with "Registry". That is usually
hardcoded for (depending on whether you want it changeable per-user)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\<company name>\<product name> (replace HKLM
with HKEY_LOCAL_USER if you want per-user config).
