Details:

windows installer by rc2 ignores setting of istallation path, it installs
into C:\Program Files\...... (default path)

TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend

I've done *many* installations in different paths and never seen this.
Are you sure you changed the path on the root feature, and not just on a
subfeature?

Also, I suggest you update to RC4 that's out now. This handling has not
changed, but there are multiple other fixes.
