Silent install /S and default directory

[oyvindso]

When I am installing Dynare With the silent switch (dynare-4.3.3-win.exe /S), Dynare installs to default path c:\dynare\4.4.3.
Is there any to change this, I want the silent install to end up in C:\Program Files (x86)\dynare\4.4.3 instead?
Installing programs at the root of the C: drive is wery pre-windows95

Dynare Silent Install Path

Dynare uses the NSIS installer. According to Command Line Usage, you can use /D sets the default installation directory ($INSTDIR), overriding InstallDir and InstallDirRegKey. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces. Only absolute paths are supported. I tried dynare-5.4-win.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\Dynare\5.4 and it works like a charm.
