Install Directory Option - Add for ZIP packages

[laurinkeithdavis]

This is a public issue for tracking a private ticket of a feature that is already on the roadmap for adding the "Install Directory override" functionality to ZIP packages.

InstallDirectory switch for Get-ChocolateyUnzip - Zip Packages

WARNING: Install Directory override not available for zip packages at this time. If this package also runs a native installer using Chocolatey functions, the directory will be honored.

Can I assume this still has not been addressed?

No response. No progress. There are still packages we cannot use, like Apache Ant, due to this issue.

Howdy,
This is marked on the backlog (label), which means we are committed to doing this at some point. When released, we move the labels to "Released" and typically comment on what version it went in with.

We don't always see activity on Github. I would say for the most part you are stating you are unable to use the community-offered package due to this issue, but could have your own that meets your specific needs.

Or if we could finish #11, you could add something to the side that would allow you to stay out of changing the package itself.
