installation location
Provide an option to let the user choose the installation directory on Windows, instead of forcing the installation in C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\gitkraken.
# Folders
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\gitkraken
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\.gitkraken
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GitKraken

Tom ParryYes I really need this "option".
I find it amusing that the GitKraken client is great the install is so very inadequate.
If you are using a commercial installer app this should be very easy to do.
If you are rolling your own code - then I guess it must be hard to figure out...
Until this is available I will not be able to use GitKraken in my re-installation process.
So sad. -

Christian Nørager-Nielsen MergedWe're working in a highly managed Windows environment where we cannot run executables in %localappdata% (actually any user-writable directory), as this poses a big risk.
We thus need programs to install in well-known program folders. -
