Question / Help No option to select install directory in Windows 7/8 installer 0.637 Beta

[Linus Andersson]

Hi!

Recently downloaded the installer for Windows 7/8 0.637 Beta from the homepage and ran it. The program installs and runs just fine, but there was no option in the installer to select a different directory to install to. Is this a known bug and how do I work around it?

This is intentional. If you want to install it to a non-standard place, I recommend downloading the binaries instead.

Intentional? Why? It seems like a really strange design decision.
