Setup Package Question...

[pzmgmb]

I created a setup package in VB .NET, and when I went to install it the path it was going to install to was:

C:\Program Files\Default Company Name\etc...

I have scoured all the properties of the Setup package and removed all the ones i could find but i still cant get rid of it.

Does anybody know how to remove 'Default Company Name' from the installation path?

In the files setup dialog if you select the application folder entry then you get its properties.

There is a property called default location which defaults to:

[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]

If you change this to:

[ProgramFilesFolder][ProductName]

It should do the trick.

In Solution Explorer, right click on the setup project, select View, select File System. Now select Application Folderin the File System pane. In the Properties window, find the DefaultLocation property and remove whatever you like. The "parameters" are enclosed within []. I reduced mine to
[ProgramFilesFolder]VBCompareNet
I fopget what was there before. I think it [Manufacturer] was in there.

Why doesn't Microsoft hurry up and buy Inno so we can have a good built in package deployment tool?
