Hardcoding the installation directory is a bad idea.  You can provide
defaults and a constraint check that doesn't allow destinations with a
space, but hardcoding it is going to be a problem.  Not everyone has
a writable C: or D: or whatever.  You're better off picking a
reasonable default and then allowing them to browse to whatever folder
they want and then checking for the folder including a space.  (Even
if it does include a space, you can use the short filename for the
path, which won't have a space, i.e. C:\Program Files becomes
C:\PROGRA~1.)
