How to specify the destination location for the msi file binaries in a WiXSetup Project?

[sansa20]

I have a WiXSetup project that I am using to generate an msi file with a few binaries. the msi file is created upon building the project. But when I run the msi files, I want the binaries to be created in a specific location in file explorer, How do I make this happen? I believe it has something to do with the directory element? This is my code right now, for reference- it is essentially the default.

<Fragment>
		<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
			<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
				<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="OpenTapWixSetup" />
			</Directory>
		</Directory>
	</Fragment>

Is it possible for me to change it in such a manner that when I run the msi file, the binaries are generated in a specific location in file explorer

This is a pretty basic question. I suggest reading through the WiX Tutorial from FireGiant or watching the Deployment Dojo episodes to get a foundational understanding of how the WiX Toolset works. This episode of the Deployment Dojo would be most applicable.

I have custom tooling which is FOSS that helps you get started with WiX. I also have tutorials and can provide 1hr complimentary mentoring and consulting services to do it for you. FireGiant offers a lot of that also.
