    You can use file search or a custom action which checks whether one of the folders exists. Then you use mutually exclusive conditions on two custom actions, which will set the value of a property, PLUGINDIR. Then you use this property as the target directory for plugin files.

    You have to do it before MSI goes to InstallInitialize action.
