Looking at there MSI it looks like the property you need to change is
CTX_MF_INSTALLDIR in FR3.
Try passing the CTX_MF_INSTALLDIR="E:\Program Files\Citrix" to the
unattended.exe file. I thought I read in passing that this would pass threw
to the MSI file. Never tried it though
Another option would be to create an .mst file to replace the unattended.txt
file and pass the same parameter in the MSI command line. The advanced
Metaframe XP guide has some details as to how to do this. If you would like
I could send you the properties we updated to make a mst. I never have
tried installing to another folder

Boy... why do I think that is a REALLY bad idea... I picture it like
trying to change the program files location for exchange or something. I
think it is just reading the progdir variable from the registry and
installing based on that. So two questions:
1- Why change it
2- if you are going to do that why not try and change the Program Files
dir
3- (and this is a comment not a question) I would advise against it.
Citrix is touchy enough about paths and file locations.

Subject: [THIN] MF XPe FR3 Unattended Install Change Partition/Directory
I have been searching for ways to change the install directory for the
Citrix MF XPe FR3 install. I am using Orca to edit the MFXP001.MSI
file, however, I am not sure which setting to use to point the install
directory to the E:\Program Files\Citrix rather than C:\Program
Files\Citrix
Within the .MSI I am looking at the 'Directory' table; however, all
references appear to be relative. I am not sure where 'INSTALLDIR' and
'CTX_MF_INSTALLDIR' are set. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I do not believe this is an option in the unattended.txt.
Thanks,
