Description

Seriously, it’s 2026, and this damn software installer still blindly installs everything to C:... without giving the user any choice.

For software that clearly isn’t intended for complete beginners, I expect the installer to keep the system drive clean. The users of this software should be smart enough to choose the installation drive themselves!
