Windows installer location #736

I told the windows installer to install into D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin and it correctly put the uninstaller there, but not git-lfs.

  1. I downloaded https://github.com/github/git-lfs/releases/download/v1.0.0/git-lfs-windows-amd64-1.0.0.exe to C:\Users\Me\Desktop\

I have git for windows on my computer, but do not have it in any standard location, furthermore, it probably wasn't installed, but just unzipped. So it correctly didn't detect and git installed location if it was supposed to. This is how I like my setup. That part is good. All I see is a prompt for install location. So I choose D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin and tell it to install there.

git-lfs.exe is installed to C:\Users\Me\Desktop\git-lfs.exe while git-lfs-uninstaller.exe is installed in D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git-lfs-uninstaller.exe

I was expecting git-lfs.exe to go into D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ too.

Also, since git-lfs wasn't in the same dir, the uninstaller only removed itself, not the git-lfs left on my desktop. If I moved git-lfs.exe into the same directory, the uninstaller successfully removes it.
