Hi Doug,
The limitation of not being able to install "over the top" of an existing installation is due to an underlying issue which is not currently supported in the Qt framework which we use to build Survey123 with. Until this issue is resolved in Qt framework and AppStudio, then Survey123 can not be installed "over the top" of existing installation. You will need to uninstall and re-install or change the directory path each time.
Also, you should not require administrator rights to uninstall Survey123, we do not use such permissions to install and uninstall, as the default path is set to the local users folder, and all the files required are installed only to these folders which the local user has write and delete access to by default. So even if you are a standard user and not admin, you can still install and uninstall. If however you are installing to another folder path on your PC you may run into issues with permissions, or if your IT dept has modified the default permissions on the local user folders.
Currently there are are no plans to change the survey designs directory, as mentioned above we need all the files to be in the same folder to avoid any permission errors as the logged in user needs to be able to read/write/delete to these folders.
I have updated our internal issues related to all the above points you raised with you comments.
Phil.
