bug code

        private void RefreshPreviewPath()
        {
            string path = string.Empty;
            if (rbAppdata.Checked)

                        Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),
                            txtInstallSubDirectory.Text), txtInstallName.Text);
            else if (rbProgramFiles.Checked)
                path =

                path =
                    Path.Combine(
                        Path.Combine(

                                : Environment.SpecialFolder.System), txtInstallSubDirectory.Text), txtInstallName.Text);

            this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { txtPreviewPath.Text = path + ".exe"; });
        }

        private short GetInstallPath()
        {
            if (rbAppdata.Checked) return 1;
            if (rbProgramFiles.Checked) return 2;
            if (rbSystem.Checked) return 3;
            throw new ArgumentException("InstallPath");
        }

Quasar.Server\Build\ClientBuilder.cs

        private sbyte GetSpecialFolder(int installpath)
        {
            switch (installpath)
            {
                case 1:
                    return (sbyte)Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData;
                case 2:
                    return (sbyte)Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86;
                case 3:
                    return (sbyte)Environment.SpecialFolder.SystemX86;
                default:
                    throw new ArgumentException("InstallPath");
            }
        }

fix suggestion
use CommonApplicationData replace ApplicationData

                            txtInstallSubDirectory.Text), txtInstallName.Text);

C:\Users\work\AppData\Roaming\SubDir\driver.exe is just a preview on the server. It will use the correct name on the client.
