Change installation directory when not using 'oneClick' with NSIS

electron-builder version

• 5.12.1

Building for

• windows nsis x64

Building on

• linux x64(Ubuntu 16.04)

Assuming ‘oneClick’ is set to false for NSIS, and two package.json scheme is used with the development package.json having the build object as follows -

"build": {
    "appId": "com.somerandom.name",
    "productName": "RandomName",
    "asar":false,
    "win": {
      "target": "nsis",
      "title": "TitleValue",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "authors": "User Name"
    },
    "nsis":{
      "oneClick": false
    }
  }

The Installation directory(tested with Windows 10) defaults to

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\appname

How can the user be allowed to change the installation directory ?

+1 I think it’s common sense for allowing users to choose where to install.

But now, we have a boring installer even for updates, am i wrong ? How can I fix it in this idea :

    "nsisWeb": {
      "oneClick": "isUpdated",
      "perMachine": true,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true
    },
