I used the -l option to install, why is it not installed to the specified location on the hard disk?

winget install DuongDieuPhap.ImageGlass -l "D:\ImageGlass"
or
winget install ImageGlass -l "D:\ImageGlass"

Neither installed to location "D:\ImageGlass"，Instead it installed to the default location C:\Program Files\ImageGlass

Not all installers support the -l switch. In some cases the installers can be marked as not having a location switch at all, and in other cases the location switch is simply unknown.

Are there any configurations that I can download and install to the path "D:\winget" by default?

I install a software, such as winget install abcd, and then the software abcd is installed in the "d:\winget" folder.

As of right now there is only the defaultInstallRoot , but that is only activated if the installer requires a location
