When running setup you're always asked to select the destination path. If you already have LVP installed, there's a regkey pointing to it's path at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Clearcove Limited\LogViewPlus\Path


Can you tweak the installer to check it's existence, and "If Exists" pre-fill the install path in the installer for us so we can just quickly click through the setup rather than have to stop and drill down to where we installed it? Those of us with tons of software often forget offhand where we put things and when we have to drill down for these already installed apps, we have to go digging around things like start menu shortcut properties and such just to remember where it was install to.

It's a small, but common Quality of Life improvement. Smile

Thanks for highlighting this issue - I can see where it would be annoying.  I will take a look and see what we can do.  This is something we should be able to work into the next release.

Hi JA,

We have now released LogViewPlus v3.0.5 as a BETA release.

This release sets the install directory to the known directory if found.

Thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention. Please do let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

Toby
