Installing 2.7.0rc2 windows zope installer, i noticed that it uses hard-coded value for instance directory. The proposed value is "C:\Zope-Instance". However, some users (me :) don't have C: drive. For some reasons windows choose G: letter for boot drive and (unlike not-boot drives) this letter can't be changed. Most installers autodetect this situation but Zope installer not.
You can change the instance dir manually, no? You mean it's a bug that it doesn't detect your system drive and instead always uses C as the default, right? If so, yes, I agree, but likely it won't get fixed too soon as it's so minor.
I find the default value strange. The old installer put it into the program files directory, which seem to me to be the reasonable place. Opinions on this?
