I'm sure it does and I guess that Program Files will always match as
it's often the first. On the other hand working with a path name
obtained from an execution path there's no guarantee I can always do the
correct conversion by assuming ~1, some end up as ~2 etc.

Is there a proper way to get the 8.3 name?
