Is there any way to specify a custom install path for Windows?

• Version: 6.3.3

• Target: Mac and Windows (with a Squirrel installer)

We’re transitioning from an NW.js app where the app is installed in AppData/Roaming and the localStorage is placed in AppData/Local but Electron/Squirrel is installed to AppData/Local and localStorage is placed in AppData/Roaming (opposite). When our users update from one to the other, we don’t want the localStorage being deleted when the Electron app is installed there. So can we customize these paths (so we can put our Electron app & localStorage in the same locations as before)?

build/installer.nsh

 !macro preInit
    SetRegView 64
    WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "${INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY}" InstallLocation "C:\MyApp"
    WriteRegExpandStr HKCU "${INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY}" InstallLocation "C:\MyApp"
    SetRegView 32
    WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "${INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY}" InstallLocation "C:\MyApp"
    WriteRegExpandStr HKCU "${INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY}" InstallLocation "C:\MyApp"
 !macroend

then include this file in package.json

Does anyone knows what variable to use such that i can set the $INSTDIR path as “C:\Users{CURRENT_USERNAME}”

Where {CURRENT_USERNAME} is the currently logged in username.

Thanks
