1. PDFWriter is obsolete, not included with any current version of
Acrobat.

2. PDFWriter is a print driver, it has to be installed into system
folders.

3. Acrobat does install other files to Program Files (which can be
redirected), and to the system folders and to Common Files (which
cannot be redirected in the installer).

Odd, everyone I know does. Your milage varies.

I don't know, I find the Program Files\Manufacturer name\Product name
structure works pretty well when I want to find stuff.

I agree it's impolite to write an installer that doesn't offer a
choice, but it seems fairly moot, as so many things now go off to the
system, to Common Files, and especially to the Windows Installer
directories, that the actual program location is becoming almost an
afterthought.
