### Describe your issue
I am trying to install Chocolatey while having Chocolatey previously installed (via UniGetUI?)
The reason I am doing this is because I DO NOT want my chocolatey install location to be;
`C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey`
I instead want the location be the default for Chocolatey installs, which is;
`C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey` [Source](https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/default-chocolatey-install-reasoning/)
The problem is; no matter how I now choose to install Chocolatey; it ALWAYS installs to
`C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey`
Even using an install method [totally unrelated to UniGetUI](https://chocolatey.org/install); the Powershell window will say it is installing there; and I have no control to change it. It is totally ignoring the default install location to install in the UniGetUI folder.
How do I change this??? I do not want my Chocolatey installed apps to be in the UniGetUI subfolder.
Thanks.

I also know about changing the Chocolatey executable location via UniGetUI, which I will of course be doing once I have Chocolatey installed at its 'default' location.
