That's exactly why the plugin defaults to the Downloads folder. Windows Installer caches the source path of the .msi. If we let users move the installer to arbitrary or temporary folders before finishing the process, future 'Repair' or 'Uninstall' actions might fail because Windows can't find the original source. By keeping it in a standard, predictable location, we minimize these registry conflicts for the average user.
