question regarding install path of upcoming avast 5
« on: September 13, 2009, 05:35:34 AM »
As you know, currently avast 4 is installed by default to the following path: "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4".
Would anyone know if the default install location of avast5 is: "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5" ?  If not, what will it be?

The reason I need to know this is because I am releasing a new version of a freeware program I wrote which includes a link to avast Home Edition.  I wish to include a link to both avast 4.8 and 5.  For these links to work correctly within my program, the user must have avast installed in the default directory.

Thank you for your time.

The default install location is the same as avast 4.8

What I meant was that it will install in C:\Program Files\Alwil Software just like avast 4.8
