The installer only allows an installation to c:\geda .  This is because there
is still a bug in gEDA Win32 that manifests itself if the installation 
directory is not c:\geda.

For the most part gschem and friends will work if installed in a location other 
than c:\geda, but you will encounter some problems as you work with the 
programs more.

If c:\geda is really a problem, then you can perform a manual install using:

Although there are a few win32 bug fixes that are not in gaf-mingw-20020527.zip 
but are in the windows installer version.
