I was running into problems with the program locating my game directory due to 
a couple of factors
- Non standard install directory
- No registry keys to be found due to unclean install (moved game from another 
Windows installation)

Navigating to your game directory every time you use the program is bloody 
annoying, so I hacked in this code and I figured maybe someone else might 
benefit from it.

Simply put a text file with the name installpath.txt which contains your GTA 
IV's install path e.g
D:\Games\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV 
in the directory of your SparkIV.exe binary

I've attached a zip file with the modified files, all you need is to edit the 
installpath.txt and it should work.

I made some revisions to the code, fixed some bugs in handling the directory strings. Now it supports GTAIV and EFLC (only supported one installation before) Put your install directory/ies in the relevant files, installpathIV.txt & installpathEFLC.txt To install, extract the attached .zip file to the same directory as SparkIV.exe answer yes to overwriting files.
