The Windows installer sets STACK_ROOT to c:\sr by default (see https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2468 <https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2468>), but that behaviour can be disabled by unchecking a checkbox. That's because basically nothing works if your STACK_ROOT is in %LOCALAPPDATA% because you end up hitting the path length limitations (and GHC/libraries still haven't been updated to support long paths in Windows).
