This *not* a duplicate of bug 93606. I set that ticket's title and added some
comments as it seemed to apply to me just as much as to the OP. But I was told
to open a new one specific to my situation, so that's what I'm doing. As that
ticket title was chosen to match my findings, I'm copying it for this new bug.
Here are my comments from the other ticket again:

I am also experiencing this problem on an US English version of Windows 7. I am
not changing the drive letter but the actual name of the installation directory
(I want to remove the major version number). Also, I choose not to create a
desktop shortcut, this is also ignored. I've first reported this on
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/56644/custom-install-options-ignored-on-windows-7/
with some more details but there were no replies. I've seen this problem on my
previous installations of LibreOffice 4 as well.

I've now tried the command line suggested in bug 93606, comment 16, with the
path changed to what I desire, so this is what I ran:
msiexec.exe /i LibreOffice_5.0.1_Win_x64.msi INSTALDIR="C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice" TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\LibreOffice"
INSTALLLOCATION"="C:\Program Files\LibreOffice" /L*v installLog.txt
However, as soon as I chose "Custom", the wizard came up the default install
location "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\". I changed it back to what I wanted
(leaving the trailing backslash in place). Then it worked (also the desktop
shortcut, but still does not work when I double-click the .msi file. My account
has the required rights to perform the installation either way, but I took care
to start the command line from an administator's CMD process as requested in
the previous comment.

I had to jump through the some hoop when installing the help package. Funnily,
the dialog did pick up from somewhere that I had installed LibreOffice in
"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice" and did show that path to me in the dialog. So I
went ahead and clicked to install. I then found that "C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice 5" had been created. Uninstalling the help package did not
remove that folder either. I removed it manually after uninstalling and then
ran
msiexec.exe /i LibreOffice_5.0.1_Win_x64_helppack_en-US.msi
INSTALDIR="C:\Program Files\LibreOffice" TARGETDIR="C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice" INSTALLLOCATION"="C:\Program Files\LibreOffice" /L*v
installLog3.txt
I now, finally, have a working installation (with help package) in my desired
target folder.
