After run matlab_R2019a_win64.exe and zip file is extracted as "_temp_matlab_R2019a_win64", you can cancel installation from installer.
Open Command Prompt and navigate to the extracted folder (_temp_matlab_R2019a_win64).
You can run setup.exe with -downloadFolder option, so you can change the download folder.
.\setup.exe -downloadFolder "D:\Some\Path"
