XP x64 unattended: Change ProgramFiles location problems

I try to install WinXP x64 (SP2) with German MUI pack.
I changed Program Files locations in winnt.sif:
After installation there are the following program directories created too:
C:\Program Files (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)(x86)
Latter is containing some files (e.g. Netmeeting software).
Doing some research in registry I found following corresponding wrong keys, where the
program files location change did not has taken place, e.g.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
CommonFilesDir = C:\Program Files (x86)(x86)\Common
ProgramFilesDir = C:\Programs Files (x86)(x86)
Does anybody know whether there is patch for this setup configuration error?
Or how to write a repair script to be integrated in the setup?
Second question I have is regarding the MUI setup.
I did it by let setup calling
muisetup.exe /i 0407 /d 0407 /r /t
during unattended setup.
Afterwards I noticed MUI installed in default program dir ("Program Files"),
i.e. MUI is ignoring changed program file location.
It does so when installing MUI manually too.
I can't find any switch of muisetup to change target directory.
An answer file mui.txt is ignored too.
thx for any suggestions
