you can not prompt, but you can set a fixed different location for both
binaries and data files...

2 parameters for the boostraper setup.exe installer are available for this,
DATADIR="data_folder_path"
TARGETDIR="executable_folder_path"
please remember that some binary stuff sill be placed anyway in \Program
Files\ folder, that's to say the common executable for all instances like
SQL-DMO...
