Let's make it clear; you would like to use RunOnce to install applications to locations other than Program Files?

Using RunOnceEx itself is documented here:

I'm not really sure what you don't understand - I would suggest keeping the .exe files on the CD, in the $oem%\$1\TEMP folder, which will then get copied to the hard disk during setup (for example, C:\temp). When RunOnceEx is executed after setup completes (if you're following the guide), you can call the executables to set up the programs from C:\TEMP. The guide is very self-explanatory, so if you're not understanding it, I would suggest setting up a virtual machine and learning via trial-and-error. The RunOnceEx stuff in the guide here might not be deployment 101-level stuff, but it's level 103 or 104 - if you're having trouble with it, honestly, your best bet might be just to try and learn from your mistakes in virtual machines.

The best way to understand is to look at some live application that uses RunOnceEx method.
