VS Installer should take File path of already installed version
-
Would be nice if updates from VS would take
the File path of the already installed version.
(Win 10)The latest VS Update shows me this File Path:
C:\Program Files\NumericPath\VectorStyler\But my Version was already here installed:
G:\Prgs-Test\VectorStyler\

@Subpath Yes, this would be very useful. I have to see how and if this can be done with MS Installer used by VS.

I don't know if this is related or not, it seems it might be. I have a laptop running Windows 10 that I use sparingly. Each time I update VS on there, if I don't uninstall the previous version and do a clean install of the newest one, it goes wonky. Menus are missing things, there's a lot of jitter, items are not aligning with their function

Don't have any problem as you describe.
I just manually change the Update installation path to point
to my old VS version and install the update over the older version
and everything works fine.

@Boldline Maybe this is similar to the occasional need for reset. On Windows, the user files are in C:\Users<user name>\NumericPath
@Subpath I checked the installer path issue, and it seems that there might be some support for it in MSI, but (per stackoverflow comments) it is buggy and does not work for x64 apps (VS is x64). I will keep this issue open.

@vectoradmin
Thanks, take your time.
It would be nice, but its not so important for me.
