Cannot change destination path
I am using InstallShield2010 LE to build release for our product.
Since our product is not implemented by MS Visual Studio, I only use Visual Studio to create a project type "InstallShield LE" and add our product files under default directory C:\Program Files\company\productName during "Specify Application Data", and allow user to change the desitnation folder. The project is built successfully.
But when I run the setup.exe, even I change the destination folder to other dir, D:\ for instance, I find that the product files are still installed in default directory C:\Program Files\company\productName.
Anyone here can tell me the reason for this? And how I can fix this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I wonder if it is the default behavior of the InstallShield, that always pick the install path as default [INSTALLDIR] and cannot take the user selected path.
I am using Limited Edition, the InstallScript is locked so I cannot edit the function to change the behavior.
I am currently stucked here, any suggestions or comments will be highly appreciated.
