Hi there,
I want to change the Installation drive from c:\ to e:\ using ORCA, but I dont't find the right entry I have to modify...

Using the InstallShield Tuner application (not free) you can generate transforms by going through the graphical install dialogues and making the desired changes, it then generates the transform to match.
There isn't a generic method for setting the install directory of an MSI, but using the Tuner application the outcome of changing the install directory on the FF 16.01 MSI is as follows:
(I used the path "e:\ffce", edit as you see fit)
(The "|" represents a column separator)
In the Property table:
_CST_NEW_INSTALLDIR | e:\ffce\
_CST_NEW_DEFAULT_DESTINATION | INSTALLDIR
In the InstallUISequence table
_CST_NEW_INSTALLDIR | NOT INSTALLDIR | 799
In the InstallExecuteSequence table
_CST_NEW_INSTALLDIR |NOT INSTALLDIR | 799
In the CustomAction table
_CST_NEW_INSTALLDIR | 51 |INSTALLDIR | e:\ffce\
