What You Are Seeing?
I am trying to install Chocolatey while having Chocolatey previously installed (via UniGetUI?) I know this is not a UniGetUI support page; but I want to know why Chocolatey is doing this.
Chocolatey (when installed via UniGetUI?) defaults to the location;
C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey
I instead want to install into the default Chocolatey install directory, which is;
C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey Source
The problem is; no matter how I now choose to install Chocolatey; it ALWAYS installs to
C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey
Even using an install method totally unrelated to UniGetUI; the Powershell window will say it is installing there; and I have no control to change it. It is totally ignoring the default install location to install in the UniGetUI folder.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I do not want my Chocolatey installed apps to be in the UniGetUI subfolder.
Thanks.
I also know about changing the Chocolatey executable location via UniGetUI, which I will of course be doing once I have Chocolatey installed at its 'default' location.
What is Expected?
Chocolatey will install into its default installation directory.
How Did You Get This To Happen?
I had previously installed Chocolatey via UniGetUI; and now chocolatey only wants to install into that directory.
