Using XP Pro w/SP2 and Visual Studio 2003.
I have no trouble creating a deployment package when the application does
not have a sub-directory such as "Images". I have an app that uses a
sub-directory "Maps". 120 lines of code use this sub-directory. How do I
get the Sub-directory into the Deployment Package? Thanks in advance. Jim

Open the setup project and select the "File system editor" command in the
toolbar above the solution explorer. In the file system editor you can
create the directories and add the files which should be installed onto the
machine by the setup.

And in case you are not putting files from the install into the directory,
make sure you check the option to create the folder even if empty. It is in
the properties of the folder in the File system editor.
