do you mean installing the program or the files it downloads?

thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you.

1. The files being written to the root directory are the downloaded update files and are written there by the updater program.

2. That was in reference to the installation of the program itself, with a subdirectory created there for the update files that it downloads when it runs.

For someone who is self-taught and still in high school, you are doing a great job. Keep learning and keep up the good work.
