Well, that's not right at all. That used to be the desired location, but Windows security changes and more in recent years (the last 15 years at least) have indicated that this is now not to desirable location.

C:\bb\ is the default location (substitute 'C:' for any other drive.)

'Program Files', and 'Program Files (x86)' etc are a big no-no (for many years now).

It's all about security.
The only program installed in a root folder on my system is Band-in-a-box, so if you are right there are a lot of software companies doing this wrong.

Can you point to any information about how Program Files was phased out ?
