After installation of new CC VSD7 it's start menu shortcut/icon points to C:/Program Files (x86)/CoffeeCup Software/CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer but the software is installed to C:/Program Files (x86)/CoffeeCup Software/Visual Site Designer. If I try to remove this additional "CoffeeCup" from the path my virus scanner refuses to run it.

As a workaround after I copy all files from .../Visual Site Designer-directory to .../CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer and start VSD7 as Administrator everything works fine, except that now it uses C:/Users/XXX/My Documents/CoffeeCup Software/Visual Site Designer/ as working directory to save templates etc! (XXX is the admin account on my PC).

My system is Windows 7 64 bit.

I have Windows 7 64-bit installed here and the path for the shortcut does not have that. It is listed with the correct slashes.

All you really need to do to correct this is right-click on that shortcut icon, select properties and then change the Target location. This way you would not have to copy anything to a new location.

This is interesting. Same shortcut path problem in my Vista (32bit) PC.

If I change Target Location and check the Run as Administrator-box VSD7 starts ok, but uses my admins ...\My Documents\Coffeecup Software\ as it's working directory like in my W7 64 bit PC. In my case this is only a minor inconvenience.

In my W7 64 bit the OS tried to prevent my access to shortcut properties before I copied files.

In both systems VSD7 is an upgrade, not a clean installation. My guess is that there is some registry problem with installation sw, maybe in the "uninstall old version"-part.
