Description

Please confirm these before moving forward.

  • I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
  • This improvement refers to an existing feature. If you want to suggest a new feature, please use this template.
  • This improvement is not a bug. If you want to report a bug, please use this template.

Describe the improvement

I don't use the default location for installing vcpkg packages. Therefore, when I want to update them, I have to pass the --x-install-root argument to the vcpkg executable. It turns out that the uniget interface doesn't allow you to customize the package destination.

So, I have to run manually this command to update my vcpkg packages:
.\vcpkg.exe upgrade --x-install-root=E:\Home\Important\Development\Library\vcpkg_installed --no-dry-run

Describe how this improvement could help users

This enhancement will enable users to keep their vcpkg packages up to date even when they are installed in a specific folder.
