Publish path VS. install path

When I try to specify an Installation URL, VB Express insists I use a
fully qualified URL. It won't let me type "C:\Program Files\Project2\ ",
I have to use "\\localhost\Pr ogam Files\Project2\ ", except the latter
doesn't work because I don't have IIS running, and it's not likely the
target machines will either. The Publish URL is
"C:\$PATHTOPROJ ECT\publish\". This seems to install on other machines,
but I can't find the actual application - I don't know what the final
path ends up being (and I know it's not C:\$PATHTOPROJE CT\publish\)!

How can I just make the install path "C:\Program Files\Project2\ "?

thanks.

Hi,

What kind of project are you creating?

\\localhost\Pro gam Files\Project2\ is not an url, but a file share and will not work unless you have shared Program Files/Project2

If you plan to deploy your application, why not use a setup project?

I'm using the Click Once installer that comes with VB Express. I've
configured it to install off of a CD.

Hi, my application uses some configuration files. Since I could not find a way to have VS 2005 include these files into the generated Setup program once I publish the ClickOnce application (not even when I have these external config files on my resources tab) I'm going to publish my application as a "normal" program. This way it is easier for the user to find the application installation path (like c:\program files\the program...

My app will eventually be published to a file server for deployment and updates, but right now I want to test the publish and deploy on my laptop. However, the install folder demands a unc, and just won't proceed without it. I tried ///C:, and I tried \\(localhost), but neither work. The latter throws an error when I try to install -- when I try to run the manifest (is that the right term?), it says it can't find files that are obviously...
