The new installer uses the standard locations for per-user and
per-machine installations, but you can change it to use whatever you
want. The following are the default installation locations (using
"shell:" links).

per-user install
shell:UserProgramFiles\Python\PythonXY[-32]

per-machine install
shell:ProgramFiles[x86]\PythonXY[-32]

UserProgramFiles defaults to "shell:Local AppData\Programs". You can
relocate it, but I'd only do that for a new account.
