Dunno if you can change the pad.
I use an external install creator to do that
What version of Visual Studio are you using? Express only comes with Click Once, and you have very few options on how that installs. If you are using Standard or higher, you can use the Setup project and then you can specify where files are installed as one of the properties on the setup project.
Moved To Application Deployment
Hey,
You have multiple options available to you for this.
If you have the correct version of Visual Studio, then you can create a Setup and Deployment project, as already mentioned.
One package that I have been using lately is called Wix:

It takes a bit of getting used to, but it is very flexible! It requires far more knowledge than using a standard setup project though, so only go down this route if you are looking for heavy customization.
