Extract the application's installation folder (or assign whatever folder you
want) and then just append the other paths to it when needed, ie:

    AnsiString RootFolder = ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName);
    AnsiString GUIFolder = RootFolder + "GUI";
    AnsiString DriversFolder = RootFolder + "Drivers";
    AnsiString FEPFolder = RootFolder + "FEP"
    AnsiString RuntimeFolder = RootFolder + "Runtim";
