If one was to rename Legacy7Setup.exe to LegacyNew.exe you can direct the install where you wish. I always install my Legacy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy7Beta C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy7GR Further updates will find those locations just fine. If Legacy gives you the option, then why does Legacy continue to force you to install it to C:\ ?
