Describe your feature request

I love using Winhance for its great organization. It would be very helpful if we could have an option to keep the .exe installers after installation is complete, instead of them being deleted automatically. Also, an option to choose a custom download folder (like an external drive) would be amazing for backup purposes. Thank you!

Use case

I use Winhance to set up my workstation with many large programs (like Blender and video editors). Since my internet connection can be unstable or limited, I want to keep the installer files (EXE) on my secondary 4TB hard drive. This way, if I need to reinstall Windows or set up another PC, I don't have to waste time and bandwidth downloading everything again. It makes Winhance not just a setup tool, but a great backup manager too

This is completely different from changing the "Installation Location." I want to keep the installer file itself (.exe/.msi) after the process is finished. I have a large 4TB hard drive and I want to use it to archive these installers so I don't have to download them again. Keeping the installer is about saving bandwidth and having an offline backup, not just changing where the program lives on the C drive.

Finally, I’m sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted to be clear. Thank you so much for this amazing program and for all your great efforts!

I wish you all the best of luck and success. Have a great day
