In VS 2005 and VS 2008, where do you set up the default path to build in the
MSI program that the deployment project builds?

At the moment, it sets it up as c:\Program Files\ Default Company Name\.

The user can change it when installing, but I would like to be able to
change the path, including change the "Default Company Name" that it
defaults to.

I can't seem to find it in the properties of the deployment project or of
the solution.

Thanks,

Tom

project explorer and then change to properties window (F4)

That is a little confusing.

This is a different window from right clicking and selecting Properties or
Selecting Properties from the Project window.

You have to know that you need to press F4 to get it.

Is there a way to change it from the C: drive to the D: drive?

Thanks,

Tom
