I am afraid this is not possible with ClickOnce. ClickOnce applications are always installed in the Apps subdirectory of local application data. See the overview here;

Overview of Click Once Deployment[^]

You can check this link it is similar to your question for more help;

Control the location of the click once installation[^]

Click once in msdn ;

MSDN Click Once Deployment[^]

If you really need to specify the location where the application is going to be installed, you will have to use another method, like an .msi file.
