OTOH, any effective test that any given SH3 instalation is clean would work regardless of the path, so your strategy is fundamentally flawed. It won't do what you intend it to do and it unnecessarily inconveniences some users.

One of the rules of good program design is that you never unnecessarily take away choice from the user. By all means provide defaults but you should never force your code to install somewhere the user doesn't want. I'm sorry but you clearly haven't thought this through very thoroughly.
Bit of a bold statement to make when you dont have the auto installer in front of you
All questions can be answered fully when the builder of the auto installer is back in town
He wont mind me saying that the builder is Jaeson Jones and I or no one else can question his ability so before all jumping to wild conclusions let the man answer you first
