You have "files" in %WINDIR%, %SYSTEMDIR%, the registry, the application files, the menu structure, the quicklaunch folder and other places in Windows.
-
It does not matter upon which OS your application is installed on, but how your application is designed. For example, you could just have one configuration variable in %OS_OF_CHOICE_CONFIG_AREA%, and have that point to your application directory. Now you just have to get your executable able to be accessed through some sort of a user interface ($PATH, %PATH%, menu structure, etc).
-
In addition, Windows is based on the model of including all functionality you need for your application in one executable (shared libs / dlls as an exception), whereas Unix is build on the reusable tools model. There are more interdependancies, so you either need to have a fixed location for common tools, or you need to have some infrastructure to be able to find the tools you need. The re-use model requires that you be able to find the tools.
Of course, I am probably just falling for a troll :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
