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?

Chris, as I explained previously, the reason we've changed installer technology is because the previous upgrade process was cumbersome. From now on, simply running the new installer (which SkyDemon will do automatically) and pressing Next a couple of times is all that's needed to upgrade.
We'll likely reintroduce the option to change the installation folder if a significant amount of people ask for it. I believe so far there's just this thread.

Tim, I understand the problem you are trying to solve. Why not have the updater install the new version to the same location the old one used to be? That would be the proper thing to do. It would be user friendly and would also give someone the choice to move the installation to another location have have it stay there regardless of updates.

Or, why not let the user press a couple of Next-buttons, but on one of the pages give them the choice to change the install path. You can still just click Next and that will result in an install to the default path.
