1) Yes this should work on a windows platform.
2) BrightSwitch does NOT care where it is put in in 12 sub directories if you like you can even break the BrightSwitch folder away from the others so it could look like
/ - root
|- /some_stuff
|- /brightswitch
|- /more_stuff
|- /BrightSwitch
I have no idea why you would want to do this but you could if you liked.
