Description

There should definitely be a popup on first install to ask for the install directory, the default install isn't optimal either (User/Appdata/ is a hidden directory and very counter intuitive i think)

removed the launcher settings and replaced the launcher with newest version and it asks just fine where to install the game.

Tested on Win7 and Ubuntu 14.04 (both 64bit)
fixed

On ubuntu(12,14)x64, [browse] does not update the install directory path.
Also: [continue]'s glow overlays [browse] and interferes with click events.
