Let Python handle the default install or default to AppData\Local\Programs\Python

Installing to C:\Program Files (x86) causes permission issues when users do not use an elevated prompt to install packages. Even when Python is installed for one user all users in AppData. This causes a confusion and is a security issue. Installing source packages would be as admin which can have arbitrary code execution.

if a user wants to have their own custom place or Program Files (x86) they should install Python manually independent of Natlink installer.
