Is this an absolute requirement? By which I mean that if you require this behavior then you will be disabling browse choices and forcing TARGETDIR to be what you want.
It depends what C: is intended to be. If it means you want to install it to the same drive as Windows then you don't use the ProgramFilesFolder property. Instead you use the WindowsVolume property as the basis for the install location. If you are forcing the install location then you'd need a custom action that sets TARGETDIR to [WindowsVolume]XYZ.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to change the installation to point to C:\ Sorry for not being clear.. I would like to have the installation in my custom folder "XYZ" rather than in ProgramFiles folder ie., something like C:\XYZ. I have tried using this <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='WinVol' Name='WinVol' LongName='WindowsVolume'> but the installer aborts in between :(. Any help would be very appreciated.. Its very urgent :(....
