    Creating build places info into AppData\Local

    I've noticed when I navigate too C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ I can see the list of different companies whom have there own folders setup for there own applications. My .NET app installs into C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\.

    How do I change the path from the 2.0 to having my own directory inside the local folder?

    Thanks

    Are you using ClickOnce to deploy?

    I don't really know what that means. Using ClickOnce is not a matter of checking a box. If you're using the Publish feature of the IDE then you're using ClickOnce and if you're using ClickOnce then you don't get to decide where the app is installed. The folders you're talking about are where applications keep their data, not where applications are installed. Those apps are almost certainly installed under Program Files. If you want to install under Program Files then you can't use ClickOnce and you thus lose the advantages that ClickOnce provides.
