Install Directory

I've completed my first vb.net Express program after having only worked with the old VB5.

Anyway I can not seem to figure out how to set the INSTALL path to:

C:\program files\myprogram\

I can only find "Publishing Location" within my Project properties and this seems to build the project files to this location. However, where can I set the install path? The method of deployment is simply to copy the files to a CD or my flash drive and running the setup program from the computer on which it is to be installed.

This is sooooooo basic but I can't find where to set the install directory. Please help.

If you're using the Express edition, your only option for an installation is ClickOnce which does not install to the Program Files directory. It installs to a Cache location so the .Net framework can manage your application.

If you want to create an installer to install it to the Program Files directory (NOTE: It does NOT have to be on the C: drive) you'll either have to purchase Visual Studio Pro or Team System, or install a third party installer creation package (like Inno).
