Research direction
Read the action code that chooses the location path and creates the msys2.cmd wrapper, along with the discussion in issue #173. Check how a custom location affects the wrapper destination and how the default path is used. Done means a custom location keeps the wrapper from overwriting the caller's copy while the default setup still works.

Description
I am working on a composite action that uses MSYS2. In order to not interfere with the calling workflow/action and its (potential) MSYS2 installation, I have set the location option to a custom value. The msys2.cmd wrapper however is still placed in same default location (RUNNER_TEMP/setup-msys64) which would overwrite the calling workflow/action's copy.
Is there a reason why the wrapper script isn't placed under the same location path? There doesn't appear to be any discussion of this in #173.
