Strange Installer behaviour

[Yamaeda]

So, something strange happened today. I updated a small program and made a small installer for it. At the same time i changed the install path to a more general one.

When running the install program it wanted, as expected, to install in my new suggested folder. When the install was complete, it had in fact installed in my old folder!

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

I have not seen that behavior, but I can guess why its happening. When you build an application is gets some sort of unique ID number that doesn't change between versions. This is a Windows thing and it is why when you run an updated installer the installer knows when you are updating an existing installation and when you are performing a new installation. 

My guess is that the existence of the previous version overrides the install path selection in the installer, which actiually makes good sense.
