SD v3.2.0 auto update to different drive

Group: Forum Members Posts: 53, Visits: 205	The new "auto update" for v.3.2.0 is welcome, but (on a PC) it forces installation to Drive C: which is a pain as I have my previous installations on another drive. Do I now have to migrate SD to C: or is there an option somewhere to install to the existing folder or a drive of choice?
