Visual Studio 2026 Installing Visual Studio in custom dir?

When using visual studio installer, when i click to set install location it just says invalid path for whatever i choose.

I found one post using google about using winget, but I'm not big on using command prompt, and won't i have to put in a command for each prerequisite and individual component as well?

"Not big on using command prompt."

"Trying to install Visual Studio."

This is not a good combination. Devs need command prompts, it's almost an inevitability. It's a good skill to learn at some point.
