For the 1st question:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ServicePackSourcePath
The source paths are set in the above location.

Some programs (installers) are hard-coded and default to a specific location. Some programs installer look for the ProgramFilesDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Caution: Merely changing the ProgramFilesPath and ProgramFilesDir might affect the already installed programs.
