Hi Nevzat,

that is by design. But you can contact the Support, there is a way to 
change that.

Nevzat,

You can specify some public properties when doing the installation, but I'm 
not entirely certain that this has no repercussions for later updates. It 
shouldn't, but I have not tried it for a long time.

The runtime parameters for msiexec.exe (the MS Installer) program include an 
option to set public installation properties, including the following three 
that specify the destination folders. Only the last one can be changed 
through the GUI:

* PATH_PROGRAMFILES (default depends on OS)
* PATH_USER (default depends on User)
* PATH_WWWROOT (only one that can be changed in the GUI)

To set any of those variables, just add them to the msiexec.exe call on the 
command line:

msiexec.exe /i <x.msi> PATH_PROGRAMFILES="C:\Alaska\" PATH_USER="D:\Test\"

Make sure that you include the double quotes (") around the directory names 
and the trailing backslash (\) for all of the directories!

In older versions (before 2.00.742), all of these directories could be 
changed in the GUI, and they were also named differently:

 CMD_PROGRAMFILESFOLDER
 CMD_PERSONALFOLDER
* CMD_AUXWWWROOT

To get a list of available public properties, you can log the installation 
process to a log file, using various msiexec.exe /l options.

There are several other public parameters that can be changed to automate 
the installation process, including the ADDLOCAL and REMOVE properties, with 
which you can determine which features are installed and which aren't.

Some additional documentation on msiexec.exe can be found here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/windows-installer-guide

Hope that helps,

That should read:
