Changing Where [ProgramFilesFolder] Points To

[Phil Galey]

Is there a way of getting [ProgramFilesFolder] to point to D:\Program Files
rather than C:\Program Files? If I try replacing [ProgramFilesFolder] with
D:\Program Files, I get an invalid character error. Thanks.

Phil,

I asssume that you are looking to the special folders in the environment
class

I hope this helps,

No, actually, I'm referring to the
[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName] string that appears by
default in the DefaultLocation property when you highlight the Application
Folder in the installation project. Our software is used internally only
and all the target machines have both a C and D drive and we always install
software on the D drive. So as things are, we always have to go through the
extra step during the installation of changing the C to a D.

How can we get the drive letter to come up by default as D instead of C when
installing VB.NET apps?

Yes there is a way to do that.

Phil,

If you have access to internet than you should be able to open it, it is a
very old and completely open page.

I tried it again.
