Minor Description
In current state, a user can input path to directory in New Keystore location: prompt, which is not allowed. Installer correctly reports the issue when user tries to proceed after all other inputs are filled in.
This is in contrast with other check like no permission to write in the place (see example below). Also the next prompt for Encrypted file directory: issues a warning and allows reenter the path if it was not a directory path.
My proposal is to move this check right after I try to enter a directory path - validation warning would appear and prompt is redisplayed so that user doesn't have to go through the whole dialogue again.
