馃摑 Provide a description of the new feature

It'd be great if PowerToys installer executable provides an option to specify install path as a commandline argument. This is useful for package managers like Scoop which installs to user's home directory.


If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 馃憤 reaction to this post.

@enricogior should we mark this "help wanted" or something you want your team to take on?

@crutkas
it would be better to implement this ourselves.

@enricogior can I work on this?
We can add a new arguments to the bootstrapper --install_folder and pass the path to the INSTALLFOLDER property of the MSI.

@davidegiacometti
yes sure, thanks!
