deployment: change defaultlocation in application folder

The default location for a installed program is
[ProgramFilesFol der][ManufacturerNam e]\[ProductName]. Since this is not a
hardcoded path, I don't know how to change it to the what I want.

I don't want the company name as a folder and the product namefolder that is
created is the name of the deployment project not the actual project. How do
I change this so that the default will be the [ProgramFilesFol der] and then
the folder holding the exe, etc. with the name of the exe. If my project is
NoteBook I want it to be installed as follows
ProgramFiles\No tebook\Notebook .exe

Overview: 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.
