This isn't a dig at you, but I hate that programs install in the appdata location. That's not its intended location on Windows.

I will definitely improve this once I work on a proper "portable" version. The ZIP as it is right now is identical to what is installed via the exe installer.

Updates are installed to the local appdata folder for simplicity: No elevated privileges are required during first installation and while installing updates automatically. It's also a central place to manage installed versions which just makes things easier, so it was the obvious choice to go about this.

But I definitely hear you and I will give the option to go fully portable without any leftovers in system directories in a future update (not too far in the future).

Since there is already an issue for this (#47) I will close this issue.
