Changing the CF exe output folder

[joelcochran]

I have a VS2005 CF exe that is going into a folder in Program Files,
like so:

%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\My_Exe_Name_As_Folder

I also have supporting DLLs and such going to:

%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\My_Dll.cf_As_Folder

I want these to go in a subdirectory for my company:

%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\My_Company_Name\My_Exe_Name_As_Folder
%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\My_Company_Name\My_Dll.cf_As_Folder

I can see this option in the Project Properties, but it is read-only,
so I can't change it. How can I alter the target path for the device?

TIA,

Joel Cochran

Since you're going to deploy with a CAB file, not from Studio to your actual
end-users, set the path in the CAB project properties or the INF file used
to generate the CABs.

If you really want it at development time then set the output path in the
project properties (Build tab -> output path)
