Suggest request changes to dotConnect/SQLite installer

Currently, when dotConnect/SQLite installs, it dumps EntityDeveloper in c:\EntityDeveloper.
Please either provide an installer option for a destination, or put it under the dotConnect folder. In case it matters, I install dotConnect under c:\x\dotConnect
I try to keep c:\ folders organized.
Less important, it would *really* be nice if the dotConnect update process remembered where it was currently installed and automatically filled in the same location by default, instead of making me enter it each time.

The default path of installation is C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\dotConnect\SQLite. All providers files is plased in C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\dotConnect\SQLite folder. Entity Developer is an independent tool and it is installed to the folder two levels higher - to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\ folder. Entity Developer is shared by all the dotConnect providers, that's why it is installed to a separate folder. If you specify the c:\x\dotConnect path for installing our provider, the provider files will be installed to c:\x\dotConnect, and Entity Developer will be installed to the root folder of disk C.
If you don't want Entity Developer to be installed to the root folder of disk C, use the following path instead of yours: c:\x\Devart\dotConnect\SQLite . In such case Entity Developer will be installed to c:\x\Devart\EntityDeveloper

We will investigate the possibility to use the folder where the provider is installed as the default installation folder when upgrading the provider. We will post here about the results as soon as possible.
