Where do the Files Go on Installation

[Henry Jones]

I am using VB.NET 2005 and built and published my solution. When installing
on a clients PC, where does the EXE go? Assume my project is Test.
Shouldn't it be installed in C:\Program Files\Test ? It isn't and I don't
know where to look. ON the Start menu, the Project shows up with a
shortcut and I can run the program, but I don't know where it is stored.

Thanks,

Henry

Hello Henry,

In general the directory should have the company name and then the project
name, like Program Files\<yourComp any>\Test
The same for the keeping data into the registry

I went to check to see if the project was installed where you said it would
be but it isn't there. I'm not sure where it is. And, another question,
how can I change the location if I wish.

Thanks.

I went to another users PC and found where the software was installed:

C:\Documents and Settings\Sam\Lo cal
Settings\Apps\2 .0\ADAE44VZ.KCW \8216AP8Y.LHH

How on earth was the project installed in this location? I searched through
the options in Visual Studio 2005 and couldn't find a place to change the
location of an install.

You are using Click-Once right? That is the default directory and I didn't
believe you can change it.

What is Click-Once? Another poster said that the files should default to
\MyCompany\Test but they don't go there. Any explanation would help.

Thanks

Hello Henry,

You didn't specified which installed do u use, if u use InstalledShied that
what I was writing before is right.
But If u used VS 2005 feauture "Publish" (which is ClickOnce istaller) then
a path a little bit different
You can't specify where is you going to install your app. Only Windows is
responsible for this and it install your apps into
<sysdrive>:\Doc uments and Settings\<User> \Local Settings\Apps\ in one of
the some random generated directory

HJWhat is Click-Once? Another poster said that the files should
HJdefault to \MyCompany\Test but they don't go there. Any explanation
HJwould help.

Thanks for the information. I am using the VS 2005 Publish option and you
would think that the programmer would have control over where the app was
installed, but now I know we don't. I appreciate the info.
