How to install to other folders than default folder

From time to time you want to install your Advanced Installer MSI file to another folder than the default folder as specified in the project.

Except from installing the MSI file by hand and specifying where to install the application there are two other ways to change the install dir.

1. Install the application, specifying the target directory as the public property APPDIR. APPDIR is not listed as a public property, so you need to type it by hand.
2. Create a transform file using Orca, a tool from Microsoft. (An example on how to do so can be found here.) As the property is not listed you will need to create a new transform, go into the PROPERTIES table and then create a new property called APPDIR.

Good luck!
