Changing target location for a directory???

[NewsArchive]

Hi,
I am having property APPID18 in Directory table.This property is for a
destination folder of a component.I want to change the target path of the
this property using the installscript in Developer 7.
I searched the newsgroup and found the solution to use the MsiSetTargetPath.

The call MsiSetTargetPath ( ISMSI_HANDLE, "APPID18", "C:\\a") in
OnFirstUIBefore returns 0 which indicates succefull execution of the call,
but during installation, setup copies the files under the default location
INSTALLDIR not in
"c:\a".??
I tried FeatureSetTarget and componentSetTarget but did not solve the
problem.

Please help !!!!
Thanks,
-Aslam
