Changing target drive for MSI install
I always set the ROOTDRIVE property to C:\ for MSIs. However, we have some Citrix users whose local disk is drive M:. So when an MSI is installed it generates a 1327 error (invalid drive). I could change the ROOTDRIVE property to M:\ for Citrix users, but this means one set of MSIs for Citrix users and another for non-Citrix users.
Does anyone know of a simple way of passing the system drive to the ROOTDRIVE property so the MSI automatically installs on drive C: for regular users and drive M: for Citrix users? I tried passing the %SystemDrive% variable to ROOTDRIVE but this didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

evaluate the version or type of the target machine for a Citrix machine.
then use a SetDirectory CA to change the dir conditionally based on the version / type evaluation you did in the first step

Just put the ROOTDRIVE property in the commandline with the proper value and you can use the same MSI for multiple targets
