Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.
I'd like to install Opera in a custom folder and not in the default Program Files (x86) which is just giving me an error, whether I "Run as Administrator" or just do a regular install. Is there a command line installation that I could use to enter the installation path?
I'm tired of downloading different versions, installing, uninstalling, cleaning out the registry...
I just want to install in a directory \Tools\ with the rest of my web stuff and not see "Opera Internet Browser has stopped working." again.
Thanks!

I really miss the stackable tabs and would love to see them back. I have Opera configured with sessions for different uses and different places and each have up to 12 tabs open at the start of the session. For example in Opera 12.16 and previous versions I could easily stack these into 3 logical sets (for my use) 1 stack would be 3 regional weather related tabs, another 3 regional media tabs, and the other 3 social media tabs. I would have a session for say Mexico, one for France and one for Canada and opening a session would have all my necessary info neatly stacked under 3 tabs.
Having brought in my sessions into the new "Speed dial" format, if I open all the tabs in a folder they take up the full width of the screen and are no longer stacked in my nice little logical piles.

The sessions and stackable tabs combination was one of my most used unique features of Opera, and it would be fantastic to see it return.

As a user of Opera since 2001 as my main browser, and having tried Opera 15 and now 20 I mourn many of the features of versions up to 12.16 which still remains my main browser. I can live with lots of the changes as its a matter of getting used to something new, but I really miss stacked tabs (the second item I missed the most was mouse gestures, but that has been fixed).
Is there any plan to bring back stackable tabs? Opera was the first browser out there with tabs (version 3.5 or something) which was light years ahead of any of the others, stackable tabs in saved sessions were for me the ultimate in useful customization. If I could move my tab bar down to the bottom of my screen that would be nice too.
Is there a change log, wish list, or a list of options that are being worked on available?

I have read many of the posts slamming the new Opera and I certainly miss many of the features, but I will be patient and see what the developers come up with.
