Dropbox installs to Programs Files on Windows

Dropbox team is testing a new experimental build, which installs Dropbox to Program Files on Windows. This only happens when you run the installer manually, if previous Dropbox installation installed in the AppData folder and when the Dropbox auto-updates, then it will stay in the same folder. For 64-bit Windows, Dropbox will be installed into Program Files (x86).
