Allow --install-dir on windows

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      the help text for --install-dir:
        --install-dir <file path>
                Installation directory of the application. Ignored on Windows, use
                --win-dir-chooser to provide an ability to choose an installation directory.

      there is no real reason not to support --install-dir on all platforms.
      if --win-dir-chooser is also specified the --install-dir value should become the default. If not, the specified value should be used instead of the default "C:\Program Files\<app name>"
