Install directory in Setup Wizard

[JamesKirk]

When the Setup Wizard is run it creates the file setup.exe. When Setup.exe is run, it asks if you want to install in such-and-such a directory or you want to change it.

I DON'T WANT THE USER TO CHANGE IT, since my program looks for files in C:\MyDirectory. Anyway to FORCE it to install in C:\MyDirectory?

Hi. Try modifiying the setup program that is in your VB Dir. For example: You may make that form's field read only, OR go to the code and modifiy it to your needs.
Good Luck.

You don't need to do any of the above. Just add an ForceUseDefDir=1 (or perhaps it's ForceUseDefDir=True) to the [Setup] section of your setup.lst file.

Why are you working against yourself? Don't worry about where the setup wizard install's your application, instead of looking for files/calling files like, C:\ExampleDir, use App.Path. That way, doesn't matter where the files go, it'll find them no matter what.
