Main game directory - the one with gtr2.exe. You can always 'install' them into a empty directory first to look at the structure.

The installers will normally guess the appropriate directory themselves, at least if GTR2 was installed from CD, as they look up the registry key its installer writes.

Sounds like you haven't installed them to the same place, or something else is different about your installation or system (I've never tried any of the installers under Windows 8, for example).
