Is your feature request related to a problem?

I notice that the current version installs to %localappdata%. I understand from Support that there is no alternative to this. There is no way to force it to install to a generic location like %programfiles% (unlike the Enterprise edition)

Describe the solution you'd like

An msi and option (command line switch) to change the default destination folder to a generic location like %programfiles%

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternative is not to package the client but for the users to do manual installations. This is do-able but not user-friendly.

Additional context

Like a lot of corporations we have a 'standard' to package everything, even if only used by a small number of users. We are successful in meeting this objective with 99% of software clients. The problem is that the users and desktop support teams are unfamiliar with a manual installation option (so it's not user-friendly). A lot of corporations will be in a similar position.
