Hello all,

If you use the GUI installer, you will be able to specify custom paths after the registration information page, on the page where the various components can be selected. Just click advanced ... and set the path.
If you are installing using the command prompt, then you can create an ini file, and set in it:
INSTALLSQLDIR="D:\SomeSQLServerFolder\"
Then run the setup with : /settings filename.ini
More info on the command line is on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
You cannot specify the location for all the SQL Server components, see the restrictions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143547.aspx
see here the Specifying File Paths part.
