Problematic default installation location

The default installation location is problematic in multiple ways. You are apparently trying to work around of UAC and permissions issues by installing to directory within user profile.

1) The installer is offering the same directory even though Everyone is selected. Obviously other users of the machine are or at the very least should be unable to access the application installed to a users profile.

2) Due to security risks associated with cryptolockers and other malware we have prohibited running executables within user profile. I know many other organizations that have taken similar approach.

  • Thanks @olli_QPR for bringing this up, you are right, we are trying to work around UAC and permissions. We will be improving installer to offer classic default path when user selects "everyone".
