A lot of programs get round this kind of issue by having a file dialog popup where you locate the executable in question, then save the path to the appropriate place. Could quite easily be a standalone, run this to setup pdf with GS type thing. Other option is that the installer may well be able to do this sort of task, I'm not sure.
In addition some programs may have their path registered in the Windows registry at (HK(CU|LM)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths, in a key of their own or they simply append their path to the PATH environment variable (obviously these methods all depend on an installer of some sort and should therefor not be completely relied on).
