You would need to author your install to remember it, see this post http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/The-WiX-toolsets-Remember-Property-pattern

Subject: [WiX-users] Installation folder during maintenance Hi I need some confirmation on what I should do about setting the installation folder during maintenance mode. When the first time install sets the install location to non default location, does the msi remember this for subsequent maintenance operations? Or should I create a custom action during maintenance mode to read the install location from the registry and re-set it? I am finding different results with my testing. Sometimes this install location is remembered during maintenance and sometimes it goes back to default. Thanks!
