Describe your issue

I am trying to install Chocolatey while having Chocolatey previously installed (via UniGetUI?)

The reason I am doing this is because I DO NOT want my chocolatey install location to be;

C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey

I instead want the location be the default for Chocolatey installs, which is;

C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey Source

The problem is; no matter how I now choose to install Chocolatey; it ALWAYS installs to

C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\Chocolatey

Even using an install method totally unrelated to UniGetUI; the Powershell window will say it is installing there; and I have no control to change it. It is totally ignoring the default install location to install in the UniGetUI folder.

How do I change this??? I do not want my Chocolatey installed apps to be in the UniGetUI subfolder.

Thanks.

I also know about changing the Chocolatey executable location via UniGetUI, which I will of course be doing once I have Chocolatey installed at its 'default' location.
