   The Hub saves this setting in in c:\users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub\secondaryInstallPath.json. I haven't investigated thoroughly, but I think it may be empty by default and then is filled in if you click the gear, set a path, and exit the Hub.

   Suggestion: Create a GetHubInstallPath helper function that returns the default directory, overridden by the secondaryInstallPath.json (if non-empty), gated by a Get-OperatingSystem check.

   Workaround option: Create a hard link from the default install location to the location where you have configured Unity Hub to store installs.

   For example:
   mklink /J "c:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor" "d:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor"

   This will cause UnitySetup to see your installs on the d: drive.
