c# - Changing the Default Installation Path in Windows Application

Question

I want to Change default installation path which is Program Files in windows application When Creating setup. I tried but i couldn't do that please tell me solution.

Answer 1

• Right click on your setup project root in Solution Explorer and choose "View -> File System"
• Click on (select) "Application Folder" in the window which opened.
• If you look in the "Properties Pane" in Visual Studio there is an entry called "DefaultLocation". Change this to point it somewhere besides "Program Files".

Default value for location is [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName]. These are placeholders variables which are looked up when you compile the setup project. [ProgramFilesFolder] is the one which will point to "Program Files" in an English version of Windows.
