Presumably after an I update, I have two installations of Bitwarden

Steps To Reproduce
Update from version 1.32.0.0 to 1.32.1.0.
Expected Result
Bitwarden gets updated wherever it was installed
Actual Result
Two desktop shortcuts, one to original install location (D:\Program Files\Bitwarden in my case) and one to C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Local\Programs\Bitwarden. Both locations have a Bitwarden install, version 1.32.0.0 in the former and version 1.32.1.0 in the latter.

I would like to know what to do in the situation as well. Should I reinstall to my original install location? Will the next update break it again?
Hi @Simon311,
I posted a reply in the other issue thread, bitwarden/clients#2571. Please uninstall both and re-install it. We've done some work on ensuring the updater will behave better in the future and I believe it should install to the correct location after the next update.
If not feel free to comment here and I'll reopen the ticket, thanks.
I have noticed this same behavior. What I have done to get is working is when I notice the updates are available, open Bitwarden using "Run as Administrator" and let the update proceed. That behavior won't happen again until the next time an update is released and trying to install. Simply follow that procedure again the next time an update is available.
Hi @Simon311,
I posted a reply in the other issue thread, #1423 (comment). Please uninstall both and re-install it. We've done some work on ensuring the updater will behave better in the future and I believe it should install to the correct location after the next update.

I am not sure why you guys had to break things. I followed your advice now and the problem with it is that your installer gives me no option to install in the previous location, which was on drive D. What would you recommend to actually install it on drive D?
