Eh? I haven't run the install on NT, but on W95 it *asked* me where to
put it. "C:\Program Files\Apache" was just the default. Doesn't the NT
install do likewise?

Hum. Well, I built *that* one myself, and I *know* it asks.

Both of these *should* give you an opportunity to change the
install directory for the package being installed (the server or the
add-on files). They have different defaults for reasons I
won't go into, but you should be able to change where the files
get put when you run the installers.
Please try it again and look for a "browse" button; try using
it to tell the installer to use "C:\Apache". If you don't
see that button, let us know!
