VS Setup project: install files in different directories
setup-project, visual-studio
Solution
You can try using the WindowsVolume property:
- go to File System Editor
- right-click the "File System on Target Machine" tree item and select "Add Special Folder" -> "Custom Folder" context menu
- rename the new folder to something friendly, for example "C Drive"
- select the folder
- in its Properties pane set DefaultLocation to `[WindowsVolume]`
- in this custom folder add the folder structure you want (MyApp, Settings etc.)
Problem
I have Visual Studio Setup project. And I want to install one of my file to some directory on drive C. How am I supposed to do it? An example: I'm installing my app in C:\MyApp. And one file, settings.ini, to C:\Settings\MyAppSettings\
