I tried to install PyKd. During installation it asks for WinDbg's winext folder.
How does the installer know whether or not a folder is WinDbg's winext folder?
Using the .extpath command, I can set any folder as WinDbg's extension folder. No such extension folder is accepted by the installer, except C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows SDK 8\Debuggers\x64\winext\ (or the x86 version).
I'd appreciate if the installer could be changed in a way that I can select my preferred extension folder.
(I'm doing debugging, so I should know what I'm doing, also during installation, right?)

If you use "Browse" button, installer checks "winext" and windbg.exe in the parent dir.
You can provide any path directly typing it in edit box.
