Title.

I think it is very rude to just install to any "default" directory and not asks the user where he wants it to be installed.

As long as the uninstaller can find it

I don't want an uninstaller to be required by default.

I think that ship has sailed. As soon as software uses more than one custom path to store its crap, I can no longer be sure I've deleted everything.

Can we talk about the rude installers not asking for installation locations?
