re:

only

$PROGRAMFILES\My application
$PROGRAMFILES
$TEMP
$DESKTOP
$SYSDIR
$EXEDIR
$WINDIR
$STARTMENU
$SMSPROGRAMS
$QUICKLAUNCH

so how can i here set or force or something installer to
install to C:\MyProgram (*****ample) ?

AllowRootDirInstall is an instruction. Look it up in NSIS.CHM - the help file. Open it, go to the Index tab type AllowRootDirInstall and hit enter.
