Non standard Blender install

Hi. I'm running blender from a standalone folder. It's not installed. It's one of the options you have if you just download the zip file for blender.

You can make a folder, unzip everything, Make a Config folder like X:\Blender\Blender-2.93.0_Alpha\2.93\    then all the scripts, data files etc will be contained to that folder.

A few advantages are you can run several different versions of blender with out the installs stepping on each other.  The down side is your blender bridge installs asumes that someone has blender installed normal on the C drive.

Is there anyway to change the install of the blender bridge so one can specify where blender is located? Or at least leave the zip file containing the blender add on so it can be added manually?

    AFAIK, the bridge exports the model to a shared folder, DTB, and the Blender addon pulls it from there. I don't think they need to know where each other are.
