It would only be "fine" if the computer that hosts your application is a dedicated PC that will only be used with your application.

If not, then try and integrate with the pre-existing environment; add applications where other applications are found, write docs to the place where documents go, and errors the the EventLog. Though it might sound insane to scatter all data over different folders, there is a rationale behind it. I regularly backup "My Documents", but I hardly ever backup "Program Files" or the crap that's in the root - having the same executable backed up over and over would be inefficient. The moment my PC stops working, the Admin remotely looks into the eventlog and mails me that I should not disable the Norton Antivirus-service. He puts back an image with my applications, and I restore my Documents.

The need to put every existing folder in the PATH has gone. What argumentation is there left in favor of installing to the systemroot?

I are troll Smile | :)
