Description of the Issue

Quoting from this Community post of mine (which I, in turn, quoted from this older post):

Every time I download a new version and run its installer, previous install location is not detected and it tries to install to default location (C:\Program Files\Notepad++). I think it used to detect the previous installation before and tried to upgrade instead.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

From this response in that thread:

• install v7.7.1-64b from installer, to c:\Program Files\DonHo\Notepad++
• when it runs, it immediately asks to update
• I say yes, and it downloads 7.8.4-64b installer

Expected Behavior

• It prompts me to install in c:\Program Files\DonHo\Notepad++ (My previously chosen location)

Actual Behavior

• It prompts me to install in c:\Program Files\Notepad++ (default location)
