Hi
Please refer the following path it might help you to get the answer.

http://helpnet.acresso.com/robo/projects/installshield12helplib/FAQFilesInstallDirs.htm

And on msdn i found following related data.

The TARGETDIR property specifies the root destination directory for the installation. TARGETDIR must be the name of one root in the Directory table. There may be only a single root destination directory. During an administrative installation this property specifies the location to copy the installation package. During a non-administrative installation this property specifies the root destination directory.
