> When i cancelled the UAC, I was expecting the installer to stop/cancel the installation, but the installation continued. I totally agree. The cancel button should stop the installation and the installer should offer an option for per-user installation using a different UI. But it is an out of scope of this bug. (IIRC the bug is already filed, but I do not remember the bug number.) > How do i now remove the installation from the AppData folder and install Nightly properly in the Program Files folder without losing any data, file associations, or default browser? Unfortunately, it is not possible to keep file associations or default browser because the executable path will change. Moving profile data is also difficult due to bug 1429838, but possible.
