| Summary | 0015245: Setup: Normal Install do not suggest Program Files Folder but Portable Folder | ||||
| Description | Normal Install should suggest Installation in c:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey 5 instead of c:\MediaMonkey 5 At least for some time It would be good that in case of c:\MediaMonkey 5 exists it Selects Portable as default that way existing users still using Portable do not end with multiple versions. | ||||

2138 Use different approach than 2136 and lower. If setup file is started from F: than it suggest to install at "F:\MediaMonkey 5" all previous versions suggested "C:\MediaMonkey 5" or System drive Letter. |
|
|
Installing to F: or another non-system drive would seem to be an appropriate approach if MM is configured to install to a portable path (and 2138 _is_ configured to be installed to a portable path). |
|
|
Using Non drive letters is design feature as explained in 0008750:0029043 and ATM it depends on drive letter where MM5 setup is Downloaded Previous versions used c:\ that is also wrong according to 0008750:0029043 but it felt more naturally than using Downloaded drive letter. |
|
|
This seems subjective and suggest that we don't spend time on this. |
|
|
Verified 2260 I agree current approach works just fine and we have not received complains. Note: Installation also warn if you install on top of existing installation no matter if it is normal or portable. |
