[jira] [Comment Edited] (NETBEANS-2803) Installer doesn't value given install path correctly

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2803?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16880456#comment-16880456 ]

I don't think, the existing one could be moved around, but I too think it should be possible to patch it for a location in the same folder than the application itself. In case of use it could easily delete `.` Uninstallers are kinda uncommon on Linux, but look at Windows, there the uninstallers are commonly located in the programs folder.

>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 11.1
>         Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit
>            Reporter: Ulf Zibis
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 11.2

> I said the installer (as root) to install into:
>     /opt/netbeans/11.1/
> but it installed into:
>     /opt/netbeans/11.1/netbeans/
> And please remember https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196072
> When using or even testing several NB versions, It's better to have them in one root folder "netbeans", to not flood the OS programs folder so much.
> Would also be convenient:
