Let installer choose installation folder

Open Lykrast opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Detailed description of your suggestion

The windows installer does not let the user choose where blockbench is installed and it just dumps it into AppData.

As I have a SSD with limited capacity and a HDD with looooooots of space I would like to be able to install the program on my HDD with lots of space instead of the program automatically putting itself in AppData on the SSD that doesn't have much room.

I would like to be able to choose where Blockbench install itself with the windows installer instead of being essentially forced to use the portable version that, while convenient, does not update itself automatically.

2 years later and this still is an issue.

Not everyone wants the App to install itself on the "default" location for various reasons (most of the time it being simply limited space as Lykrast mentioned).

It's 2025 and not providing an option of where an app to install is just rude and annoying.
