Remeber about the differences in "System Default" paths and build your project accordingly.  The Default application directory, Default data directory and this vis path constants will help you avoid problems with installation on the targets.  Avoid using path constants like "C:\ProgramData\MyApp\" that path is only valid on Win7 - instead, use:

Since they return different values depending on the OS

You can also use the Get System Directory VI (in the File Constants palette).
