Hi, Evan,
From memory: you should edit (Notepad will do) the installation file (unattend.iss) and change the program and data directories at will (I assume your installation is fresh and an uninstall followed by a new installation is acceptable at this stage).
The new installation should be run over your modified .iss (not the default one). Check README.TXT for further enlightments.
>I've just installed the version of MSDE that shipped with VFP 7. That installation *assumed* (grrr) that I wanted not only its code but also the data to be stored on the boot drive. I don't.

>How do I move the default database(s) and tell MSDE where to look for them?
bye
