I am using visual studio setup project extension for build setup package for my application. I have removed the Install Location Select Interface
and instead application should be installed to the location i have preset. At the moment application install location is set by Right-click
on Application
Folder in File system
UI and set the DefaultLocation
value as [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]
. It is installing to ProgramFiles(X86)
folder.
I want to install the application inside C:\Windows\SysWOW64
folder. Is there anyone who knows how to set this folder structure as a default value.
In a Visual Studio Setup project, you control the default install path by setting the DefaultLocation property of the Application Folder folder, within the File System Editor.
This, in turn, as you've found, defaults to [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName]. You can either replace this property entirely (you should keep [ProgramFilesFolder], at the very least though), or you can modify these properties.
[ProgramFilesFolder] is built in, and correctly leads to the Program Files directory on the target machine, no matter how customized the setup of Window is. The other two properties are properties of the setup project (select the Setup project in Solution Explorer, and examine the properties grid to find them). These default to the company name you supplied when installing Visual Studio, and the name of the Setup project.
