Allow Custom Install Path within the Mobiflight Installer Tool !

[pizman]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. MF Installer just "unpack" the MF Files in the Folder where we start the installer.exe ( Same way as a self extracting EXE in the past.) Lots of USers ( mostly at first days in MF) not know this. And also advanced users make this mistake from time to time. I will say 99% of all MF Users had istalled by Mistake within the C:/users/downlaod folder one ( or more) time in there life !

Describe the solution you'd like

Simply include a PATH field into the installer. It should have a "hardcoded Recomendation" like c:/mobiflight And it should allow to rework the path..... best way with a GUI ( like Windows Explorer) .... If not just with a Path Text Line.

Additional context @kkr0kk already build this for testing. BUT We got a Windows Security Warning on first try.

Whatever...: Thsi should be a point on our ToDo List !

Refresh ! In case DocMoebius is not 100% happy with the current Idea... Compromise Solution: We not need a Custom User Path Option with a UI..... We basically just need a PROTECTION to avoid a install/unpack in the c:/users/myname/download folder.....

So maybe we could build a check like "is installer.exe currently in download folder?" if Yes not allow installation.... Give a Error Popup, and tell the user that he need to move the file.

If this is still to much as expected... Then a simple Popup before starting the install process like " Attnetion... You will install MF in the Folder where you currently start the Installer.... Do you really want to continue ?? YES/NO.
