Does the default Windows installation folder differ on non-English locales?
By default, Windows is installed to C:Windows for English editions (the drive letter can differ).
Does this differ for non-English editions, or for those that use different character sets?
Note: I found out that the name of the Program Files folders does change by locale, but haven't found anything about the Windows directory.

Not that I am aware. On all european languages I can confirm you windows folder is still C:Windows, and I suspect this will be the same for different charsets, although I can't confirm the last fact.

AFAIK, Windows Directory can be identified byCSIDL_WINDOWSand by%SystemRoot%on all systems, so if you need to find that folder, use that indirection... that should also identify the folder if someone has moved Windows.
