- 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.
