Improvement of the installer: Problem with not available destination path

[OliverB]

When you create an installer package with a default destination path that is not available on the machine where you want to install the package later, the installer stops with an error message. You have not the chance to install the package somewhere else.

So my idea is to show a warning only and let the user define a new location afterwards.

here I create a installer with the default destination path D:\...

When I run this installer on a machine that has no D:\ drive, I have no possibility to install the package. I also cannot select annother location.

Note: of course a bigfix for this problem is a default destination path that is available on every machine (e.g. c:\), but in some usecases you want to force the user to install the application in a defined folder like D:\tools\
