Is there a possibility to define where the files should be installed?

E.g. I have a .tar.gz file which contents should simply be copied into the users html-root directory.

Problem A: How do I suppress being asked where to install the files to (suppress creation of a subdirectory)?

Problem B: If I enter nothing in the target directory requester it tells that it cannot be installed as the directory (/home/username/wwwroot/domain.com/) already exists.

Any idea?

The inability to install into the root web directory is a purposeful "feature". In order to protect the users data, we do not allow installations into directories that exist (including the root directory). The users can use the .htaccess redirect feature in order to have an installed program be their "home page", or can manually go in and move the program.
