Can't change install location in new Windows installer

[AntonOks]

Hi.

The podman Windows releases were once MSI installer files, now it's a EXE.
I haven't found any related announcement or explanation.

Whats the strategy here? How will Windows releases look in the future?

@n1hility has created a new Windows installer that should be signed - that is the EXE. The legacy MSI installer will no longer be used from now on.

@mheon @n1hility

thanks for sharing...

How can I set a "custom install dir" with the current EXE?
If I run the EXE with /install /quiet /norestart /DIR=C:\Temp\Podman2 /log C:\Temp\podman.log', I see the below infos in the (install) log:

Initializing string variable 'InstallFolder' to value '[ProgramFiles64Folder]RedHat\Podman'
...
...
Variable: InstallFolder = C:\Program Files\RedHat\Podman
...
...

Hey @AntonOks the install folder is currently not configurable/overridable. I can patch this for the next release. Will link the PR
