Hi,
I dont know whether I am posting to the right group. If it is not the
right group, please tell me.
I want to change the default installation folder to my own path. I did
it by changing the application folder's DefaultLocation property. The
installation works fine as long the path that I give is complete path.
If I give relative path, there is an error. How do I give a relative
path?

What would the path be relative to?

Hi,
Relative to what?
You can use a "relative" path to one of several folders ( take a look at
Environment.Spe cialFolders) to perform the installation.
IMO it;s a good practice to just follow the standard, I personally hate
those apps that insist in install themselves in c:\

Hi Rad,
The path is relative to the location of my solution folder. Just to be
more clear, I have several projects in my solution. The setup project
contains one executable as the primary output. I have one more
executable in my solution. I want the DefaultLocation value to be the
same as the output path of the other executable.
Just to give you an example, lets assume the solution have 2
executables named A and B. I have a setup project for A. I want the
DefaultLocation value of the application folder to be the output value
of B (i.e., wherever that executable is to be output). B's output path
is relative to the location of the project folder. Is there a way to do
it?

Hi,
I am trying to create an installer for my web application. So I added a

around with it since then and it basically works.
Now, I am wondering if there is any way to change the directory that
the installer installs the files to. I want to be able to put my files
in a specified directory (user specified is good, but i don't mind
hardcoding the path either) and...

Hello -
I've created a setup and deployment project in .NET and when I launch
the installer, there is default text at the top in each screen (for
example, "Welcome to ____", "Select Installation Folder", "Confirm
Installation", "Installation Complete" etc).
I want to be able to remove this text or customize the words/colors of
the text. I can't seem to find a way to do this on the User Interface
design screen in the project.

Yay!!! They fixed this for VS2005. You can now set the default
installation to be "Everyone" instead of "Just Me" and you can control
whether you even want those radio button installed in your Setup
program.

Hi everybody.
I develop a commercial MSAccess application. Until now, the default folder for my installation was "Program Files" - because this is the "conventional" way. However, I discovered that Vista makes the life hard while installing to Program Files. The application must be "run as administrator" to run at all, while in any other folder it works OK without the administrator permission. So I ask myself - why do I stick to the...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
