Steps to reproduce

Summary

The MSI installer displays "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7" as the default INSTALLDIR, but the MSI itself appends "\7" automatically. This causes the actual install path to become: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\7 (incorrect)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download PowerShell-7.x.x-win-x64.msi 2. Run the installer GUI 3. Check the displayed default install path → shows \7 already 4. Click Next without changing the path 5. Result: installed to C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\7

Expected Behavior

Default display should be "C:\Program Files\PowerShell" so that after MSI appends \7, the result is correct: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7

Actual Behavior

Installed to: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\7

インストーラーが表示するデフォルト値: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\としてほしい ← そのまま使っても… MSI が \7 を追記して: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7 まとも✅ 正常！
インストーラーが表示するデフォルトがおかしい
