Feature Request: Remember installation location

[RockyMtnVideo]

Description of the Issue

I try to install most software on the my D: drives, and most of them remember that, and (during updates) populate their "suggested" install directory with where the software was previously installed. Put simply, NP++ doesn't do that, and always points to C:. It is admittedly a "nit" problem, but I try to stay current with the releases, and (hence) install a lot of them, and if I am distracted, I occasionally dump them in the wrong place, and then have to undo-redo all of that. As I use my own shortcut to execute NP++, that ends up being pointed to the older version (on D:), if I do forget to change it, which is also not ideal.

Anyway... I realize this might be WAY down on the "to do" list, but it would be "more convenient" if it adhered to that construct (which I do see in most of the other packages that I install).

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Just install it on another drive, and then do a subsequent install, which I would expect it to offer up the C: drive as the target.

Expected Behavior

That the installer would query the OS to determine its current install drive/directory.

Actual Behavior

It always tries to install to the standard 32/64-bit locations on C:

Debug Information

I guess, if you tell me that it is already supposed to be doing this, then I'll gladly provide you with whatever you request.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for such a fantastic tool.

When I downloaded that beta, and reviewed the changes, I was tickled to see it as one of the updates. And “yes”, it does work as intended. THANKS for that fix!
