Make the downloaded content to just change the inner contents instead of the whole root folder

[Manochvarma]

Problem

When it comes to addon, normally I will save the original addon folder into other drives different from the MSFS drive (D Drive). I will create a folder example in my E Drive and name it as the developer (Ex: Working Title) and save all their products into the folder. Then, I will map the addons via symbolic link into MSFS Community folder.

This is:

1. to give more space to the root MSFS drive,
2. to keep all the developer's files in one place so it will be easier to find in future.

When I try install using your installer, it detecting the symbolic link folder but unfortunately after downloading the files, the installer replaces the link folder into new folder and keep the whole bunch of file into the community folder.

Suggestion

Is that possible to make it only replace the inside contents of each package example for the "workingtitle-aircraft-cj4 (root folder will not be touched) > Effects, html_ui, ModelBehaviorDefs and etc., (these files will be replaced every time the package is being updated)"? This only applies if the root folder is already exist in the community folder.

If you notice the image below, I have all the working title folders by symbolic link but when I install using your installer it deletes the shortcut folder and replaced with a new folder named as "workingtitle -aircraft-cj4" which place the folder directly into the community folder. You may notice there is no shortcut symbol in the icons.

Current location using installer:

Original location:

I hope this can be implemented.

Thank you.
