I didn't have any problems with weird folders in documents and settings you just
unzip the files wherever you want and it will setup itself (which you can unzip
to a new folder under Program Files.) The only issue I have (which is an issue
with the .Net Framework) is that the application icon has to be located in the
root folder in the start menu (I can't move the icon somewhere else cause when
you restart the app it will recreate its icon).
EDIT: Well I did find out a way to do what I want -- after I unzip the files I
create my own shortcut to the SR3DBuilder.application file -- this is the real
file that launches the app (I think I had to run setup.exe first).

I went to the registry under HK_Current_User\Software\Lego3DCad and modified the
BaseDir entry there to point to the LDRAW directory that I have.
I also was getting the exception on the image folder. On Sergio's web site he
has a zip of part images that I downloaded and unzipped in the LDRAW directory
-- that fixed the exception.
