Customized Installation path

I am creating a visual studio setup project using vs2010. I want my application to be installed in c:\manufacturer\ProductName. I used [HOMEDRIVE] as the defaultLocation of "ApplicationFolder" which will points to c:\ at the installation time. However, when i put [HOMEDRIVE][Manufacturer]\[ProductName] as the defaultLocation, it raises an error at the installation time saying "Could not access network location Manufacturer\ProductName". I appreciate any kind of help or suggestion.

Solution

  • You can use this default path:

    [WindowsVolume][Manufacturer][ProductName]

    WindowsVolume property is automatically resolved to the Windows partition (usually C:). Also, all predefined folder property values are ended with a backslash (). So you don't need to add one after WindowsVolume.
