Update ignores current custom addon install locati...

Hi, I just tried to update from 5.0.1.1 to 5.0.3.0 using the 'Update Zen UV' button in the Add-ons preferences and selecting the downloaded zip file. When I do this it ignores the custom addon location folder that the current addon is installed to: C:\blender\\_scripts\blender430\addons\ and installs the newer version to this folder: C:\blender\blender-4.3.2-windows-x64\portable\scripts\addons. When blender restarts it shows an error in the addon preferences about there being two init py scripts with the same name, so I then needed to delete that newer install folder. So I've still got the 5.0.1.1 installed having done that. Is there any way to update it using my custom addons folder without uninstalling it and reinstalling it?

Hey. Update ZenUV button is needed to avoid an error when deactivating the library. That is, the process takes place in two stages, first we unregister ZenUV Core library and then we run the standard procedure for updating the blender addon. However, we cannot influence how Blender does it. Obviously, in your case, the only way to update is manually. https://zenmastersteam.github.io/Zen-UV/latest/installation/#manual-update
