    Description

      The value of @ApplicationsDirUser@ on Windows evaluates to C:\Program Files. I think it may make sense to change it to something like %appdata%@ProductName@ so that IFW installers can do a local install as made popular[citation needed] by such applications as Google Chrome.

      This change could possibly lead to a check box in the installer that could be shown to allow the user to select a local or global install, but that's an issue for another day.
