Default Installation Folders

Is there any way to change them?

Related to this previous issue, where I had trouble with drive mapping in different wine prefixes.

Now I've got POL to install my game to external media, correctly mapped as <D:> in the game's Wine prefix.  However, when I go to run the game, POL is looking for data in its default location with an error message in the terminal and in the GUI asking "Did you install the game in the correct directory?"

As I'm sure you know, the correct directory is:
/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/MyGame/drive_c/Program Files/MyGameFolder

I installed the game to /media/MyHardDrive/

How do I tell POL to find the game in the directory where I installed it?  I tried dropping a symbolic link to the game data in that directory but it just crashed as before.

(In case anyone cares to know, the game is Rome: Total War Gold Edition, but I think this issue would arise regardless of the game.)

There is no way, the game must be installed inside the prefix
