Daz studio 4.15 installer has bad user experience (not a bug, but a bad implementation)

I hope this can reach product development.

The windows 64bit installer requires you to install Studio into a default folder. This should not be required. SO I installed and then renamed the folder later, and moved the application to my desired location in the system.

The problem is: this breaks the postgres connection, as that wants to be in a standard folder as well.

My workaround was to manually install postgres into the new application location afterwards.

It should be a principle for any software installer to never require default folders, no matter how critical the packages are.

    As an additinal aside, considering that postgres is such a critical element, it might be useful to give the end user the ability to manage it's relevant database file location. I've now of course lost my categories, and have to manually find and move these resources to the new install location. It's kind of a hassle(tine) :P

    <- get it? hassle(tine)? LOL just being silly...

    Install Manager allows you to set a base path for software, though it uses pre-determined folders within that.
