Isn't it that Windows programs will always be started with their
installation directory as current working directory (at least by
default)?  That way, you should be able to quickly find the config
file there.

Also, you might want to check first whether the command has been
started with a full pathname (i. e., whether argv[0] contains any
slashes or backslashes), in that case it should also be simple to
figure out the installation directory.  Only failing all this, you
need to walk the path.
