Inventor 2009 User Tools installation

Hi,

We are planning to deploy the usertools.msi file on all of our 'Inventors 2009' computers.
My problem concerns the msi file. I don't find any documentation about this file.
By default, if the msi file is on a UNC path, the installer tries to do the installation in this UNC path:
example : msiexec /i \\myserv\myfolder\usertools.msi /qb will try to install in \\myserv\myfolder\
Launched from the hard drive, files will be installed in the c:\UserTools\ folder.
While launched with the full UI, default path is where the msi file is stored.

I would like to specify my own path for the installation but what are the command line options to do so ?
I also wouls like specify that the installation concerns all users and not only me.

How could i do that ?

Regards,

Yeah great but not at all what i need.

I already found the solution. here it is and the way i found it :

I did an installation using this kind of command :

msiexec /i usertools.msi /qn /l* c:\log.txt

I edited c:\log.txt and looked for path and userlevel variables.

After some tests these options are : targetdir and allusers

So my deployment command will be something like that :

msiexec /i \\myserv\myfolder\usertools.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2009\SDK" ALLUSERS=1 /qn

Here are the microsoft MSDN library about this :
