You should not put userdata in Program Files, that is disallowed by Windows Vista and higher. I am not exactly up to speed to the current Microsoft standard for file-placement, but I believe you need to use the folder C:\ProgramData for general data not specific to a user (and I believe that there is a environment variable pointing to the correct folder).

That it worked under Windows XP and earlier does not mean that it was the recommended method (it was not).
