See this section of the EasyInstall doc for details on how to do just about every custom installation scheme imaginable: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations It sounds like you may have set up something similar to the "Administrator Install" approach, but there are several others available for the different situations you describe, and the info may be useful to you in the future.
