The idea of “installing” software to a user data directory, but not registering anything to add/remove programs seems strange. If I just unzip an app to some directory then I deliberately want to avoid registering it so few would consider that “installing” or expect it to be listed in any program lists. Newer install methods that install to unprivileged locations (typically using Squirrel, like Teams for example) of course register their apps to the Add/Remove programs list. What’s confusing is they don’t modify this record when the program is self-updated, so the add/remove programs list will forever show the 1.0 version.
