As the title describes, I run the MSI installation, but Im not being able to change the install directory, I need to change it because my C:\ disk is a 60gb ssd and I only want to use it for the OS.
Theres a way to change the installation path?
Thanks in advance!
In theory this should work:
msiexec /i "Path To MSI" INSTALLDIR="D:\New\Installation\Directory" /qb
however if that doesn't work then try:
msiexec /i "Path To MSI" TARGETDIR="D:\New\Installation\Directory" /qb
/qb = basic interface. You can also try /qn for a silent install.

MySql: I don't really know what installer you are using, but a quick peek at the simplest one I could find, seems to indicate that the installation location is defined by INSTALLLOCATION and there is another location called DATALOCATION.
If TARGETDIR or INSTALLDIR did not work (they might), then you could try setting those two location properties as well. Something like this:
msiexec /i MySetup.msi INSTALLLOCATION="D:\MySqlBins" DATALOCATION="D:\MySqlData" /qb
