Check if user selects a different install path on an upgrade
If a user is running an upgrade, but they select a different directory than the default on the "Select Installation Folder" screen, I would like to exit the installation. How can I check whether or not a user has selected a different directory than the default path?
Re: Check if user selects a different install path on an upgrade
Hello,
Also, you can simply delete the FolderDlg folder and users will no longer be able to change the path.
During an upgrade, the original path will be preserved, as the "Use original installation path when upgrading" option is checked by default on the Upgrades page.
If you want to display the FolderDlg dialog during first-time installation, but not during an upgrade, you can use the "Show only if.." option with the "NOT OLDPRODUCTS" condition from the context menu of the FolderDlg dialog.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

I'm afraid we do not have predefined support for this. You can achieve this thourgh a custom action, for example a PowerShell script.How can I check whether or not a user has selected a different directory than the default path?
