  I started to deploy in the victory of the client PC with command line like below,

  msiexec /i exsample.msi TARGETDIR = D:\test

  or

  msiexec /i INSTALLDIR = D:\test exsample.msi

  Installation was completed though, apps had been installed in the defalt directory "C:\Program files".

  In CC helps Packer said as the folliwings on the location of the Installation,

  "The Application Manager offers you the following options for the deployment location:

  Deploy in the default directory of the application: the player is by default the system unit; the default path is \Program Files in Windows/applications under Mac OS.

  Specify the directory for the deployment: allows users to end to specify the installation path when the package is deployed. On Mac OS, users are invited on the user interface, while on Windows, it's a command-line only option.

  ' Specify the directory: enter the path to the location to a specific installation location.

• How can I view the administrator account, which is not even in SafeMode (Windows 7)?

  I was instructed to set up a Windows 7 PC. It has been used before, but I don't know by whom or how it was used. In order to do a bit of setting up I want, I need access to the administrator account. I have an account that is in the group administrator, Admin, but the account itself seems to be hidden or missing. It does not appear when I boot in safe mode. How can I access the administrator?

  I found my own answer. The administrator account is disabled. Enable it, run the policy group, then Configuration Editor Local computer--> Windows settings security settings local policies--> security-> accounts options-->-->:--> Enable Administrator account status.

  After that, I was able to connect to the administrator.

• How can I change the MotoBlur account, the phone uses?

  If I swap two phones Atrix, I suppose swapping SIM cards will not change the MotoBlur account that each phone is configured for.

  So, how do we change what MotoBlur account an Atrix connects to?

  You can swap sim cards, but you will need to re-enter the motoblur password associated with the phone to continue using it. Unfortunately, I don't think that you can swap accounts motoblur without a factory reset of the phone.
