For JBDS installer jar, running java -jar installer.jar -options-template myinstaller.properties generates the property file, but it's empty. For DV, running the same command, the resulting property file includes "INSTALL_PATH=" which should indicate that you can set this property as Max suggested. But running the installer with java -DINSTALL_PATH=/Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0 -jar jboss-dv-installer-6.1.0.redhat-3.jar it will still offer this as the default path: /Users/rasp/DV-6.1.0/jboss-eap-6.3 So no luck here.
