Where to Deploy Customized Files
Predefined System Folders
When you configure destination locations using Installation Customization Tool, your options include a list of supported Windows system folder properties. During installation, the Windows installer expands these to show the appropriate location for your operating system. Default system folder locations are shown below.
The list of available folders for adding files to a companion installer depends on whether you are installing for all users (the default) or for individual users. (Configure this option using the Specify install locations pane.)

[ProgramFilesFolder] | C:\Program Files | %ProgramFiles% |
