Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8648

Currently, Ollama Desktop is being installed on the C drive. However, if users prefer not to have it stored there, the system should offer an option to choose a different installation location during the setup process.

Feature Request:
The Ollama Desktop installation wizard should prompt users to choose their preferred installation directory.

Problem:
The Ollama Desktop installation wizard is installed on the root drive (C drive) without allowing users to control where it is stored.

Thanks mate @rick-github, but it would be great if they integrated it into their setup wizard.
