Publish path VS. install path

[lord.zoltar]

When I try to specify an Installation URL, VB Express insists I use a
fully qualified URL. It won't let me type "C:\Program Files\Project2\",
I have to use "\\localhost\Progam Files\Project2\", except the latter
doesn't work because I don't have IIS running, and it's not likely the
target machines will either. The Publish URL is
"C:\$PATHTOPROJECT\publish\". This seems to install on other machines,
but I can't find the actual application - I don't know what the final
path ends up being (and I know it's not C:\$PATHTOPROJECT\publish\)!

How can I just make the install path "C:\Program Files\Project2\"?

thanks.

Hi,

What kind of project are you creating?

\\localhost\Progam Files\Project2\ is not an url, but a file share and will not work unless you have shared Program Files/Project2

If you plan to deploy your application, why not use a setup project?

I'm using the Click Once installer that comes with VB Express. I've
configured it to install off of a CD.
