Is it possible to create .msi files that install files to non standard locations?

Question

I need to generate an .msi package to deploy some files on my computers. I can do this using a program called Deep Freeze. I provide the .msi and Deep Freeze puts it in my workstations. I've been trying to create this .msi with the WiX sdk but I can't use my own folder path but as soon as I replace the APPLICATIONPATH with something else the compiler crashes without output.

Is it even possible or are .msi standards so strict that you can't just put files wherever you want?

Answer 1

You might want to post a WiX fragment showing how you are specifying the custom folder. MSI are quite flexible and you should b able to specify your own install path.
