I am trying to create an application in SCCM (Oracle adfdi-excel-addin-installer ) but i am not getting any silent switch to change its installation directory as its going to default path (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Oracle). Without changing it i can't give any detection method . Can somebody please help me with this?

Are you deploying to users? it looks like a user installation not a machine installation.
Why can't you select one of the files for a detection method or a registry key that gets added?

Yes, correct, i am deploying it to end users, and while i am giving file system detection method it redirecting me to this path "C:\Users\rekha.sharma\AppData\Local\Oracle\Oracle ADF 11g Desktop Integration Add-In for Excel". Which means if end user try to install it , it will always go to my user folder for verification and it will fail installation in end users desktop (that's why i want to change my installation path).
On other hand for Registry key detection method , i am not getting any registry entry for this particular application. I would really appreciate your help if you can get me the correct way to do it.

you really should ask these question in an oracle forum. they will know the answer far better than anyone here.

Have you tried using system variables instead of hard coded paths?
something like:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Oracle ADF 11g Desktop Integration Add-In for Excel
On a client device open a command prompt, type set. hit enter.
It will provide a list of them and what they resolve to :)

Thanks Richard, I tried using system variables but they are also not working from SCCM , manually there is no problem with system variables. Is there something you can help with detection method for this application?

Weird,
Another option might be to deploy an application or package to the machine not the user, and in this application or package use activesetup to trigger all the user installations.
As each user logs in it triggers whatever command is set as the stub path and only runs once per user.
It's just a couple of HKLM registry keys. This way you don't need to validate every user and deploy only once to each device.
