   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • [BUG] Windows installer doesn't query for install folder - Windows updaters duplicates installation #32690: Windows installer doesn't query for install folder and defaults to C drive user local folder
   • Windows auto-update stopped preserving custom install directory and reinstalls to %LocalAppData%\\Programs #26818: Windows auto-update stopped preserving custom install directory and reinstalls to %LocalAppData%\Programs
   • [Feature Request] Add Custom Installation Path Option for OpenCode Desktop to Avoid C: Drive Bloat #34664: Feature request to add custom installation path option to avoid C: drive defaults

   These issues cover the same core problem of the installer defaulting to per-user AppData instead of allowing machine-wide or custom directory installs.

   Fix: Change NSIS installer config to oneClick: false, perMachine: true, add allowToChangeInstallationDirectory: true. Users get a proper installation directory prompt and admin install by default.

   Automatic installation per user is very difficult to manage when it comes to updating and testing new versions. This issue is a must.
