[RESOLVED] deployment problem cant find files??

[white_grass]

Hi can any one help I have created an application and installed it on another computer. using vb express 2005 It installed ok and the pprogram works fine starting it from the shortcut placed in the start menu.
The problem I have is that I cannot find out where the program files have been saved to. I am totally confused????

try
debug.writeline application.startuppath

or browse

progfiles/workgroup/your app

I have searched the computer for the exe file from my application and for various txt files that it uses but can find no trace of them. I know they must have been installed as the information is loaded into my application when it starts. Any ideas???

It doesnt install in the normal "program files" directory... it has its own apps folder. On my system, it is under the "C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\apps\2.0" folder. Its not a normal folder name either, its some unique folder name that looks like some sort of key, all depending on the application manifest, etc...

For Example, the full path to the "application folder" of an installed test application is below...

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\8NKCMK8H.WYZ\JT79ZBLT.1BH\this..tion_d79675aa1cace802_0001.0000_7d5f3fe0ac3a3935
