    Changing the default installation directory

    I am using Package and Deployment Wizard to make an installation file for my program, my problem is that I don't see how to change the default directory that the program is installed to. I see the $(AppPath) to change where the different files are installed, but I want the default directory changed. For example, it defaults to C:\Program Files\My Program but I want the default install location to be C:\Program Files\Calculator, I am new to using VB 6. Thanks

    Re: Changing the default installation directory

    When you get to the Start Menu Items screen, Remove the MyProgram folder, make a New Group (Calculator) and a New Item (Calculator). Set the Properties for both of them.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
