"When I double click on the installer, it asks me if I want to remove old versions. Regardless of it I say yes or no, the window closes and it stops."

This is related to #26

So, this problem appears since the change implemented for #84 and #85. I don't think /Users/***/Applications/Erlang is the proper path for this. In any case, if Application Support is invalid because it has a space in its name, I would say we should try to fix this bug by finding a proper folder that fulfills all the requirements:

I would start with /Users/*****/.erlang-installer/releases/ (in kerl-style) and keep changing folders until we find the right one if needed.

In the odd scenario where no other folder outside of Application Support is good enough, I vote to go back to Application Support and let the tools that can't cope with spaces deal with it!
