1) Variable things like that can be made configurable. Use .ini files
(that's probably the easiest way) or the registry. This way you can point
it to the right file to play on any machine, wherever that file is.
2) You can query the location of the exe file from which currently running
process was loaded with GetModuleFilename() and find the file that way
(assuming that it is always at the same location relative to the executable).
3) You can split the program into two parts - binaries (which can be
anywhere, in Program Files, for example) and data files (which will be
stored in a specific location, such as %APPDATA%).
