Would it be possible to add an option to change the default installation path using a command switch or configuration file?

From reading the forum at HDFGroup 1 it looks like the intention is to install the HDFView program into the AppData folder on Windows to avoid the administrative aspect of installation. If there is an option to change the default already please let me know how it can be used for installation. Thank you.

Example:
HDFView-3.1.2.exe -filepath "C:\Program Files\HDFView" or
HDFView-3.1.2.exe -config options.ini

I have not but will certainly try it out if it allows a different install path from the command line.

In my attempt with version 3.3.2, I couldn't find any command-line or configuration file alternative to modify the default directory setting. The only method I found was through the GUI.
