Leading "C:" no longer hardcoded in the default installation directory.
After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.

-------
|

|
||||
- The installer always suggested that Python be installed on the C:
|
||||
drive, due to a hardcoded "C:" generated by the Wise installation
|
||||
wizard. People with machines where C: is not the system drive
|
||||
usually want Python installed on whichever drive is their system drive
|
||||
instead. We removed the hardcoded "C:", and two testers on machines
|
||||
where C: is not the system drive report that the installer now
|
||||
suggests their system drive. Note that you can always select the
|
||||
directory you want in the "Select Destination Directory" dialog --
|
||||
that's what it's for.
