…User mode The location for System-wide and User-only installation depend on Windows-managed locations, which means that they will never require a user to select the correct location. Therefore it is best to hide the page in all modes except for Portable, which should still offer a path to extract to.

Seems like this can still be adjusted with /DIR=, so functionality as expected. Normal users will never end up with CLI usage anyway |

Explain the Pull Request
The directory selection for System & User mode only serves to confuse end users, as the default is already correct in every possible case. We rely on Windows-managed paths, which are nearly impossible to change after Windows has been installed, so this directory choice should only be offered for Portable users.
Additionally, we should use the built in RegWriteExpandStringValue instead of a custom call.
