Install SeleniumBasic without admin elevations

install.cmd

:: 
:: This script installs SeleniumBasic without administrator privileges.
:: It registers a COM API running on the .NET Framework.
::
:: The required files can be extracted with innoextract from the original setup :
::   Selenium.dll  Selenium32.tlb  Selenium64.tlb  Selenium.pdb
::
:: The drivers are not provided. You'll have to download and place the desired driver :
::  * in a folder defined in the "PATH" environment variable
::  * or in this folder before running this script
::  * or in the installed folder after installation
:: Note that the group policy may block the drivers depending on the location or whitelist.
::
:: By default, the files are installed in "%APPDATA%\SeleniumBasic".
:: To change the install folder, edit "set _LOCATION=..." in this script.
::
:: By default, the library will associate with the latest installed .NET runtime.
:: To run a specific runtime version, edit "set _RUNTIME=v?.?.*" in this script.
:: It will fail in Office if a different runtime version is already loaded by an extension.
:: If it's the case, try a different version (ex: v1.0.3705 v2.0.50727 v4.0.30319).
::
:: To uninstall, open "Programs and features" and double-click on "SeleniumBasic"
:: or execute "%APPDATA%\SeleniumBasic\uninstall.cmd"
::

However, we are looking to direct the service to only look for the drivers in a different folder to the installation folder

It's not possible with the current implementation, the service is looking for chromedriver.exe in the folder where Selenium.dll is located.

@florentbr thanks to your clear guidance left in the build-setup.py file, I am now able to rebuild a working setup file with the custom injection to change the driver library directory. It works perfectly fine except for the following issues thrown by Python during the execution of "build-setup.py" which I have to comment those sections out to let it flow. Do you happen to know what these are?

execute(APP_MSBUILD_PATH, '/p:Configuration=Release', '/nologo', '.\Selenium\Selenium.shfbproj')
c:\Progra~2\EWSoftware\Sandcastle Help File Builder\SandcastleHelpFileBuilder.targets(44,3): error MSB4062: The "SandcastleBuilder.MSBuild.BuildHelp" task could not be loaded from the assembly c:\Program Files (x86)\EWSoftware\Sandcastle Help File Builder\net472\SandcastleBuilder.MSBuild.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core, Version=15.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Things I have tried but could not fix the issue:

• Installing latest version of SandcastleHelpFileBuilder.
• Installing dotnet Framework 3.5.

• Checking "Trust access to the VBA project object model" in Excel & Word.

I have an instance of SeleniumBasic installed on C:\programfiles\SeleniumBasic. I want to make the instance point to my C:\users\userid\appdata\seleniumbasic folder instead. How do I do that? Would it be possible to modify a registry setting or a path command to make this happen? Thanks for any help.
