I wanted to move Dopus to a different folder, but the installer doesn't have this option if you already have dopus isntalled 9only on fresh install can you pick a location).  
Other installers usually allow you to do that, and DOpus' should as well.

(this led to data loss since I uninstalled / installed again, but Dopus has a bug that deletes all data on uninstall without the possibility to disable it and even without a strong warning [Uninstall removes scripts](https://resource.dopus.com/t/uninstall-removes-scripts/48348))
