On some OS:es you have to reboot sometimes. Upgrading, security fixes ...
But there is another difficulty too. If the user happens to give the
wrong answer when prompting for the directory then it is hard to find

could be at the prompting or (better I believe) when trying to access
the sources. Then a new prompt could be issued.
