I see that oomph have some configuration options for installer inside .ini file, ie.: -Doomph.setup.product.filter

I would like to specified default product installation location inside .ini file, for example:
-Doomph.setup.product.installation.location="some path"

It is possible?

You can influenced the default used by the simple mode of the installer using -Doomph.setup.install.root. The advanced mode uses install.root. In all cases, the product name is determined by the catalog, and can be influenced by defining a variable "installation.id.default" in the product.

-Doomph.setup.install.root seems to work.

I added into my product setup:
<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:VariableTask"
id=""
filter=""
name="installation.id.default"
value="testname"
defaultValue=""
label="">
<description></description>
</setupTask>

but this is not affecting simple installer.
Simple installer field: "Installation Folder" have content: <path from -Doomph.setup.install.root>/<product name>-<eclipseversion>
example:
lets assume: -Doomph.setup.install.root=/home/pawel/test
I get:
/home/pawel/test/microide-oxygen
but I expected:
/home/pawel/test/testname
Tested on: Installer version: 1.9.0 Build 3649

I am doing something wrong or I misunderstand purpose of variable "installation.id.default".

Sorry, I was wrong. Only advanced mode does variable evaluation.

In simple mode, org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.installer.SimpleVariablePage.getDefaultInstallationFolder() builds the folder's name, and that's all hard coded. Perhaps it could be changed so that if there is only one product version, it doesn't append the "-<version.name>" but I don't know if that would actually achieve your goal.
