Not promising this won't have unwanted side effects...it might be better to just
designate your install locations manually. But here goes...
Go to Run.
Type: regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
On the right side, find the string called ProgramFilesDir and modify it to the desired
path.
