I have extracted the MSI from the InstallShield installation source, and
it does support the INSTALLDIR property via the msiexec command line.
However, Windows is being too clever. It will let me install to c:\foo,
but if I tell it to install to c:\Program Files\foo, it silently modifies
that so that it installs to c:\Program Files (x86)\foo instead.
Is there any way to forcibly install a 32-bit app into c:\Program Files
on an x64 machine?
If you really want to force it to that path, have you tried
"%systemdrive%\Program Files" or the full manual path i.e. "c:\Program
Files" instead of "%programfiles%" - or is that not an option?
When the application is run, however, the whole "System32"<--> "SysWOW64"
folder& similar for registry entries may be a problem, or it may notŠ if
it's just the install path that¹s the issue.
It may not be that easy. Although, I could be wrong either way...

A 32-bit installer can't access the 64-bit locations, since they are
redirected.
"C:\Program Files" will be redirected to "C:\Program Files (x86)"
automatically and only the application developer can change that.
The 32-bit applications don't even see %ProgramFiles(x86)% by default.

Why would you like to work against the O/S?
Play by the rules of the O/S and you are fine, if you don't, you will
get into trouble.

Use Thunderbird and you can hit "Answer List" ;-)
For Outlook and others you must use "Answer All".
