The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3556
Logged by: Ruediger Kemmler
Email address: r(dot)kemmler(at)gmx(dot)de
PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: Windows XP/Vista
Description: Installroutine hides destination folder
Details:

If you click first on the components which you want to install, the field
where the installation folder can be changed disappears and can't be
selected any more.

You have to go back in the installation routine to resolve it.

Minor bug, but can be problematic.

Kind regards
Ruediger

Um, Specification of an installation place can choose only a basic place
and DATA directory. Then, Each component cannot be specified.
Therefore, it can see in the portion in which the specification is possible.
Have I failed to catch your meaning?

The windows installer allows the path to be set for individual features
in the tree. We currently only support modification of the top-level
directory through the GUI - this can always be set by selecting the top
level (root) feature and then adjusting the path.

If installing from the command line, for example in silent mode, you can
set the path for individual features, but this is only recommended for
experts as it is possible to install in a layout that won't work properly.
