What Alex means is you can set the ARPINSTALLLOCATION property
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367589.aspx) to do that for
you using a type 51 custom action. The following code should work for
you Thomas:
<CustomAction Id="SetARPInstallLoc" Property="ARPINSTALLLOCATION"
Value="[INSTALLDIR]" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetARPInstallLoc" Before="RegisterProduct" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
That will (should) set the "InstallLocation" value under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{
YOUR-PRODUCT-GUID}
Good Luck.
