Its our corporate standard; we have been using E:\Program Files\Citrix
for 5 years. Everything but the OS is installed on the E: data drive.
When looking at the 'Registry' table within the .MSI, it seems a some of
these values may be pulling from the registry if they can. I am
wondering if I can just pre-define the
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Install\"Location"="E:\\Program Files\\Citrix\\"
beforehand and it will pull it like it was an upgrade? Could hurt,
might help ;)

Partition/Directory
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,
