[D] Windows installation folder (hop)

GitHub user dmainou created a discussion: Windows installation folder

Hi team, 

It's been a long time since I've had to work on Windoze so I'm a bit rusty.

Where is the 'best' place to install  Hop? 

Assume both a personal machine and a business machine (where IT  may need to be involved)

Tx

Whatever works, I guess. I would avoid anything program-files-ish or anything that is continuously synced like a OneDrive folder (could be ok for a project folder, wouldn't use it for an installation folder).
A lot depends on the internal rules and IT policies. Virus scanner that constantly scann all of the files in your Hop installation won't help performance, but a lot that is just common sense. Also, set your env vars like `HOP_CONFIG_FOLDER`, `HOP_AUDIT_FOLDER` etc.

Thanks @bamaer 

I thought anywhere would do and to stay away from the Program-Files folder and OneDrive.
But I had to check as , I'm introducing hop to a volunteer organisation and it's been well over a decade since I touched a Microsoft desktop (Ubuntu Desktop and Mac have been the weapons of choice).

Tx so much
