you can set the main view, the default layout, layouts dir and partial dir

    $view->setLayoutsDir('/path/to/layouts/');
    $view->setPartialsDir( '/path/to/partials/');
    $view->setMainView('/path/to/default/view'); // notice the missing trailing slash
    $view->setLayout('defaultLayoutName');

If absolute paths don't work, try relative ones. Absolute paths might not work when your path is outside the module.
