I have an msi file that I am trying to install in a place other than C:\Program Files.

The directory table shows that ProgramFilesFolder is used as the default install directory. From reading this blog post I understand that ProgramFilesFolder is a standard directory so passing TARGETDIR as a property to the installer will not change the install location even through the directory table has it as the parent of ProgramFilesFolder.

How can I override the install location? I am a total novice in this area.
