However we have retained the option to install Credit Hound applications to another location by using command line parameters.

Process

In order to specify the location, run the installer from a command line with the switch /v and the parameter of "INSTALLDIR=x:\Path\to\Folder". This can be achieved in a number of ways:

Windows Run command window

Press Win+R to show the run command and enter the command in here:

Windows command prompt

In the properties of a shortcut

Create a shortcut to the installer executable and amend the Target properties of the shortcut.
