Just wondering what's the logic behind it, as most programs use %ProgramFiles%.

If you have an ideology against central folders, why not supporting a portable version?

Hi Lior,

The reason Fiddler uses per-user installation is to enable users that don't have admin rights to install the app. 

We're considering such functionality, but there is some ambiguity right now and this is not officially supported.

Hope this answers your questions.
