Changing the Installation Folder for Software Installed by NI Package Manager

Issue Details

I want to change the destination directory for software I download and install using NI Package Manager (NIPM). Is it possible for me to do this?

Solution

There is no official or supported way to do this, and NI does not recommend doing so. Moreover, the NI Package Manager (NIPM) user interface does not offer a direct option to change the installation folder. 

Additional Information

Be aware that NI does not guarantee that all NI software will function properly if the installation folder is modified using alternative methods, even if the installation process completes successfully.
