Create Folder in Setup project?

I'm creating a setup project for my application so that users will have a
proper installation.

In the installation I need to copy a database over to the clients D:\
partition and create a folder called "database".. so after the instalaltion
they have this.. "d:\database\database.mb"

How do I do that..

I have in my setupproject right clicked on teh "File System on Target
Machine" and selected "Custom Folder" and then added the database to that
folder.. but when installing, this is never created.

I have also made sure the folder's property "AlwaysCreate" is set to True
and in the "DefaultLocation" entered "d:\"

how do I make this work?

please help/
