burpsuite_pro_windows-x64_v2020_9_2.exe installs to wrong folder

Not sure if it's a general issue, or just my installer, but when I ran burpsuite_pro_windows-x64_v2020_9_2.exe installer few times, it kept on installing itself to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\BurpSuitePro folder by default. It had to click on install into a different directory during installation and force it to install to C:\Program Files\BurpSuitePro
