Using the SID should work on any machine all the way back to NT4 but you are not really supposed to enable write access to files in $programfiles.

A) It is a security risk (The biggest issue is exe and dll files but a corrupted/manipulated data file could also cause issues)

B) Does not work with multiple users logged in (Remote desktop, switch user etc)

You really should store the database under $appdata...
