Install options only gives you the choice of which directory your games will get downloaded and then installed to, not the desktop app.

Origin app lets you choose where it goes, and it works fine. Why the change in policy? You don't know how my hardware is set up, so leave the choice to me!

No, it allows you to choose the install location of the client by now.

    @holger1405 No it does not. I downloaded latest client today from website and it stil only allows choosing only games installation folder. Not the folder for the client itself.

        I can confirm; the client doesn't care what you give it as the install directory. Was this app created by some coop student?! Yikes
