How do I prevent installs from storing files in ProgramData?

I do not want my installs to ever store the files in the ProgramData folder. How can I accomplish this?
I unchecked the check box: “Always Cache Setup Sources (enables easy patching)” but that did not help.
My installs are small enough that I do not need any “patching” or “maintenance” features in my installs.

Dear Alton,
a minimum set of files will be Always installed under ProgramData folder (setup core files)... otherwise you will be not able to remove the package (Add Remove Program).

Is this still the case? Is there a way to have the files required to uninstall placed in a different folder?

Dear Sol952,
you may use the OVERRIDECACHE pre-defined variable.
"OVERRIDECACHE: Initially an empty string. Overriding the value of this variable allows changing the installer cache location, which can be of significant size when working with a web build."
Please consult the IA documentation for more details.
Regards
