8.24, Chocolatey's default install location is C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey.
To verify that Chocolatey is installed, we will use the choco command. C:\WINDOWS\system32>choco Chocolatey v0. 10.15 Please run 'choco -? ' or 'choco -?
By default, when Chocolatey GUI opens it will show the "This PC" source, showing all of the locally installed packages. Depending on your usage of Chocolatey GUI, it may make more sense to default to showing a different source when the application first loads.
There is an environment variable set on installation, ChocolateyInstall, which is set to C:\Chocolatey by default in versions of Chocolatey less than 0.9.8.27. After that, this defaults to C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey.
NOTE: By default, the C:\ProgramData folder on Windows is hidden. You will either need to enable hidden files and folders through Folder Options | View or you can navigate directly to the path shown above by copy/pasting directly into the Windows Explorer address bar.
In version 0.9.9 of Chocolatey, it actively moves from the old folder location to the new one.
You can also pre-emptively create this environment variable before installing Chocolatey to control where it gets installed if required.
