Packaging an app for distribution

I am working with the Packaging Wizard to create an installation package for
distribution.

For the destination directory, I specify $(AppPath). When I run the Setup,
it wants to install into C:\Program files\folder as name of app.

I want to specify my own folder: C:\MyFolder

There seems to be no way to override the $(AppPath)-type macros to do this.
How do I get by this problem?

Has anyone answered this question?
I have tried to find the answer using Orca.exe to edit the .msi file, but
can not get the RootDirectory or DefaultPathway to work.
