Windows 7 64bit hp.

Info: Some exe files ask during installation, in which folder the program
should be installed, some don't.

Q: If not asked during installation, how can I decide in which folder
the program must be installed anyway?

Thank you.

If installer is InstallShield based you can use the following command line options:
Code:
Setup.exe /v"INSTALLDIR=\"[COLOR=Red]c:\My Files\[/COLOR]""
Same thing is valid for MSI files.

Most of the program which do not ask for a setup folder, either would not work in another folder(due to specific reasons) and/or are made by amateurs (thus might be of a low quality).
