InstallDirChanger is a window application and thus doesn't provide console output via cmd. The output can be accessed when tunneled into a file like this:
C:\path\to\InstallDirChanger.exe > C:\path\to\output.txt
The only thing you'll ever get as an output is "Error: You have no administration priviledges". The program keeps completely quiet when everything runs well.
Example usages:
C:\path\to\InstallDirChanger.exe
Opens InstallDirChanger with default settings
C:\path\to\InstallDirChanger.exe --change64="D:\my\path"
Changes the 64-bit path to "D:\my\path" and then opens the user interface in the regular way
C:\path\to\InstallDirChanger.exe --quiet --change64="D:\my\path"
Changes the 64-bit path to "D:\my\path" and then exit
C:\path\to\InstallDirChanger.exe -qa D:\my\path (x32)\ -b D:\my\path (x64)\
Changes the 32-bit path to "D:\my\path (x32)\" and the 64-bit path to "D:\my\path (x64)\" and then exit
