c# 2005 publish deployment issue?

[CodingIsFun]

Hi experts,

Has anyone figured out how change the publishing directory for the client that uploads an executable, from publish.htm

My issue is I don't like that the publisher deploys the application to documents and settings folder.

I would like to change this anyone know how.

thanks in advance..

CodingIsFun - it sure is fun.

I have read your post about 3500 times now and I'm still confused. Is your project folder in C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\YourProject\ ?

You can simply move the entire solution out of that folder and onto your Hard Drive "C:\Development\YourProject"

Or you could run a NANT script (google Ant for C#)

Is that the problem?

JurkMonkey,

Im sorry I wasnt as specific as I could have been. I wrote that without having my coffee first.

I have created a win forms application and I used the publish functionality found in the project properties page. This creates a web folder in IIS and allows users/clients to upload the .exe and other required files for the application to run from the web. It automatically creates a shortcut in the start menu, and has the awesome feature of auto-updates.

But, it also creates the application in the clients document and settings folder. I wish to change this and put it in someplace more reasonable like the program files.

Let me know if that is more helpful.

thanks in advance
