Custom installation directory.
Running JoclyBoard-0.9.12-Setup.exe
on Windows 10 immediately installs the software in the predefined path of C:\Program Files\JoclyBoard
without asking for any user input.
The installer should prompt for custom installation directory and only suggest the default for user convenience.
I copied C:\Program Files\JoclyBoard
to D:\games\JoclyBoard
and the software seems to start just fine. I have not tried any games however.
Running D:\games\JoclyBoard\Uninstall JoclyBoard.exe
uninstalls the software from C:\Program Files\JoclyBoard
.
Also it is a good habit to request user for confirmation before proceeding with installation to avoid accidental runtime. Installation path prompt would already inherit that confirmation.
Suggesting to create an MSI package for enhanced control and extra setup features on Windows.
Please improve.

I do not understand your request.
On Windows, when running the installer, you go through a dialog asking for the installation directory. The default is "C:\Program Files\net.downloadhelper.coapp" but you can change this to whatever directory you want.
That is exactly what I was expecting but after running the installer and elevating the process with UAC I have just shortly see the progress bar and the software was installed in C:\Program Files\JoclyBoard without asking about anything. I'm on Windows 10 v10.0.16299.492 and used setup.exe from this github release. So you suggest that it is not about the setup by my environment? Thank you about quick reaction.
Sorry, my fault ! I mixed up with another program of mine.
For JoclyBoard, i used the default settings from Electron for generating the installer. I cannot say for sure if there is a way to ask for the target directory. When i will have time to work again on this project i will have a look at it.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
