ReallyDedPoet, if you read my post you'll see that I've already gone through that post. All it says is to install to a directory other than C:\Program Files (x86).
To repeat my problem, I am trying to follow the instructions in that install guide, but when I enter a directory other than C:\Program Files (x86) to install to, it installs in C:\Program Files (x86) anyway.
The instructions posted in this thread, as well, DO NOT WORK for me. It will not go in any directory I tell it to go.
