Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.

Currently, the default installation path has version number in it. eg

C:\Program Files\Vim\vim90\gvim.exe

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove the version number from the default installation path.
Reason:

  1. It always creates some issues when upgrading, for other depedent tools. Eg. some other tool may point to this path, such as .gitconfig. Then when upgrading from 90 to 91, These dependent tool's setting has to be updated too. Otherwise, dependent tool stops working.
  2. Beconsistent with Linux/Mac. They don't have version number in their path at all.

Describe alternatives you've considered

NA
