Leading "C:" no longer hardcoded in the default installation directory.

After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.

-------
- The installer always suggested that Python be installed on the C:
drive, due to a hardcoded "C:" generated by the Wise installation
wizard. People with machines where C: is not the system drive
usually want Python installed on whichever drive is their system drive
instead. We removed the hardcoded "C:", and two testers on machines
where C: is not the system drive report that the installer now
suggests their system drive. Note that you can always select the
directory you want in the "Select Destination Directory" dialog --
that's what it's for.
