Package & Deployment Wizard

Install Locations

The next screen allows you to choose where your files (ie your EXE, and its readme file) are installed. By default, they are placed in the folder that is chosen by the user (ie C:Program FilesMy Example Program), and for this example, we will leave this alone.

However, the wizard does allow you to choose another location. This is particularly useful if, for example, you have included a number of DLLs, you may choose to have them installed in the WindowsSystem folder, instead of your application folder. If you want to do this, simply change the InstallLocation field for the file to $(WinSysPath). The other locations are listed in the drop down box.
