Other than making sure there's a backup (which the installer creates, but you really should have it all tracked by source control anyway...), eventually there really isn't any need to do anything unusual.

Not at present, but that's not how the process is documented, so that's not a guaranteed assumption. It doesn't want to know a made up directory name you just created, it wants to know where it was installed and will be run from. You should assume that you need to give it that value. We will not know to point out that something we didn't explicitly support suddenly doesn't work anymore. This has happened on numerous occasions with the webapp tree and other aspects of the installation process.
