The new "auto update" for v.3.2.0 is welcome, but (on a PC) it forces installation to Drive C: which is a pain as I have my previous installations on another drive.

Do I now have to migrate SD to C: or is there an option somewhere to install to the existing folder or a drive of choice?

I second the opinion of the original poster. I want to be in control of my computer (as much as possible) and not have a program tell me which drive it wants to reside on. My C: drive is my system drive and is physically a fast SSD but with limited space. I have a separate drive for program installations and need to be very strict about installing programs there. Otherwise my system drive will be swamped and the computer slowed to a crawl.

I don't really see the argument of an easy install as justification for robbing me of that choice. There are a large number of programs which have a default location (i.e., C:\Programs\xxx) while at the same time permitting me to interfere and change the default installation path.

Please, pretty please, don't take that choice away from the user!!!

Thanks, -- Chris.
