Naming the default folder for installation

[mickn66]

Is this some kind of cruel joke? I hope someone can help me with this, it's driving me nuts. I have an application, called "Syster." It runs fine. Then I added a set up project using the setup wizard, this I named "SysterSetup." Everything works great, except when I install it, the default directory it gives the user is "C:\Program Files\Manufacturer\SysterSetup" Of course, I want the default to be "C:\Program Files\Manufacture\Syster" How do I do this? Please tell me! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You can change these parameters in the property window of the project (setup)

Thank you, but I've tried changing everything: I've changed the"Title" property (of the setup project), the Product Name property, I've tried changing the default location of the application folder, but nothing changes at all, everytime I "install" the setup project, it still defaults to the same exact location. I've even deleted the setup project a couple of times and started over, just in case it was choosing the same "default location" as the first time I ran the setup program, and yet it still goes to the same location. Can you be a little more specific about what I should change? Or is it possible I'm doing something totally wrong?

 

Thanks for your help, Robby :o

It sounds like your doing it right, I'll look into it later I don't have .net here.

Ok I got it to work, I deleted the setup project, created a new one with a different name [my previous "retries" were with the same name] and then I changed the properties again, as I had done before(!), but this time it worked. I think maybe the first time I did it, before changing the properties of the setup project to what I wanted, I actually went through with the install, and then whenever I tried to change it or use a new setup project with the same name, I guess there was a setting saved in the registry or something that made that particular setup project always default to the same wrong directory. Thanks for your help!
