If you open the .msi package with Microsoft's ORCA MSI package editor you'll
see that the settings for INSTALLLOCATION are bound to
ProgramFiles64Folder--which otherwise takes its value from TARGETDIR--and its
value becomes "LibreOffice 5" resulting in a default for INSTALLLOCATION of
"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5"

When running the default GUI install, i.e. double clicking the .msi (as opposed
to running CLI with msiexec.exe and variables) the installer uses the defaults
from the .msi package.  Resulting in "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5" showing
at the "Install to:" stanza of a Custom installation.

With the GUI, the "Change" button can be manipulated immediately, or use the
back button to return to it after making selections for Optional components, or
Additional languages.

Either way before proceeding, double check that the "Install to:" value shows
the custom location you prefer. It is that string that gets written to the
installation as the transform INSTALLLOCATION value.
