Can I install SAP Host Agent in another location than the predefined location?

This is generally not recommended. Several functionalities of SAP Host Agent require the fixed installation path.

On Windows, SAP Host Agent is installed in the %ProgramFiles% directory by default. So, if you change the value of the default %ProgramFiles%, you are able to install SAP Host Agent in another location.

Caution:

If you change the default value of %ProgramFiles% during the installation of SAP Host Agent, and then switch back to the previous value, it is not guaranteed that the agent will work correctly.
