That's not possible. bdist_wininst created installers read the registry
to find the installation directory of Python, and install in this
directory.

If you absolutely need to do this, you can add a post-install script
which moves the files into a different location afterwards, but why
would you want to do this?. You need to use distutils from Python 2.3 to
build the installer.
