I pretty much figured that what you describe is what was happening. It still seems like the installer ought to allow for choosing the target, especially when it gives an error saying to do that.
I did search the registry trying to "Find" a "GIMP" key but there are none. Do you have any idea what registry key/s are involved? I suppose I can mount my drive where it seems to want it and then do some directory renaming to get it placed where I want it. Another idea is to try installing from a different system. I do have multi-bootable instances of Windows installed on my computers and this kind of thing is one of the reasons for doing that.
Oh, I now see that the "Control Panel>Programs and Features" selection shows GIMP to be installed. By choosing to uninstall it an error is produced saying it cannot find it but does offer to remove the record from "Programs and Features". After doing this the installer asks where to put it. Looks like this might be a clue for identifying what registry keys are involved but the installer is now running and putting it where I want it.
Thanks for your help!
