use DATADIR="data_folder_path" in command line while start setup

Specifies the folder where Setup installs the system databases,
error logs, and installation scripts. The value specified for
data_folder_path must end with a backslash (\). For a default
instance, Setup appends MSSQL\ to the value specified.
For a named instance, Setup appends MSSQL$InstanceName\,
where InstanceName is the value specified with the INSTANCENAME parameter.
Setup builds three folders at the specified location: a Data folder,
a Log folder, and a Script folder.
