Currently, the windows installer created by PyCI is configured to always place the installation under: %PROGRAM_FILES%\%PACKAGE_NAME%.
(The %PACKAGE_NAME% is extracted form the name argument of the setup.py file)
For example, PyCI is placed under: %PROGRAM_FILES%\py-ci.
While this makes sense, sometimes the user needs ability to specify a custom program files directory.
For example, imagine the following use case:
Application my-app is installed under directory my-app-win.
The owner of the application now migrates to PyCI, which creates an installer for him.
The installer is published, but installs the application under the my-app directory.
This causes the new installation not to override the existing one, which breaks the installation contract.
Specifying a custom program files directory will solve this problem since the owner of my-app will configure the installer to install under my-app-win.
