I am creating a deployment project, but when I install the application, it puts this application reference in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Start Menu\Program Files\<application Directory>\ folder.
What I want to happen is a single .EXE file to go to:
C:\Program Files\<application directory\
How can I do this? It should be easy enough, but I can't get it to do so.
Hello Tim,
Well, try this. Choose your setup project in the solution explorer and view the file system editor. (i.e. View > Editor > File System)
Next right-click on User's Desktop and choose Delete. Similarly, right-click on User's Program and choose Delete. Build and try now.
I think this should solve ur problem. Let us know if it helps or if you need help with anything else.
thanks,
Burhan
No, that didn't work.
No matter what I do, the .EXE file is placed in the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\tigrove\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\6H82QJML.XN8\HKVCRJ25.YED\care..tion_0ca6149aa8b4119c_0001.0000_b5735488c3bfb60f
and a reference is placed in
C:\Program files\<manufacturer>\<product name>\
I have tried everything, even cpecifying C:\[ProductName] on the properties, but it still puts it into the
Local Settings\Apps folder
There's got to be a simple way to direct where the application output goes.
Hi Grove,
I think you have put the .EXE file in a wrong folder(most likely User's Template Folder). You should the the .EXE file in the Application folder. Let us know if it helps.
Hope this helps.
