I'm trying to prepare my setup configuration by using different destination folder, not only the "Default Installation Path"

The default installation path is called <ProgramFiles>\<Company>\<AppName>\ and all files are stored in this ONE folder, independently from the source. In this case it would be useful, when I could name a subfolder to bring files in sub folders instead.
For the configuration purpose I created a command script to create the empty folders under "C:\ProgramData" like "C:\ProgramData\<Company>\<AppName>\FOLDER_1; .\FOLDER_2, and so on.

Is this the only way to use different targets also for "C:\Program Files"? Do I have to install the files 1st and 2nd moving the files around via command script(s) as required?

Well, I found a bumpy workaround for the faced problem:
I have to use "Add Folder" instead of single files. But then all the unwanted files are also included to the setup, if not cleaned prior.
The selection of specific files would be even better instead of the whole folder structure.
