Builder version

2.0.8

How you built

Hookshot Builder app (Windows)

Game files given to it

A .nup

The error

I don't want it in appdata at all. Let me choose where it goes. It shouldn't be in appdata in the first place.

"After a build or update the builder deletes its build files (4-6 GB in %LOCALAPPDATA%\HookshotBuilder) and the downloaded setup parts. The next game update then translates and compiles again (about as long as a first build). Set HOOKSHOT_KEEP_BUILD_FILES=1 to keep them for quick updates."

Visual Studio or Build Tools version, and Windows SDK version

No response

Operating system and free space on the output drive

win 11

Before you send it

I'm on the newest release, or it still fails on it.
I searched the open issues for this error.
I'm not attaching game files or anything built from them.

Understood. Choosing the install location (not AppData) is already a tracked request in #1007 (#600, #497, #391). Closing this as a duplicate; please follow there.
