Hi,

The COM AddIn Default install path on my system is always under C:\Program
Files\Default Company Name. Is there a way to modify this default setting in
the Setup project that comes with the Extensibility project?

thanks in advance.

Not sure if it´s the best way but I always modify the setup.lst file. That
file is generated by the VB6 PDW. It´s the "DefaultDir" key in the Setup
section.
 
hi,

Thanks for the reply. The thing is that I am using VB .Net to develop the
Com Addin, and I cannot find the setup.lst file generated by the setup
project. Expect to know how to solve the problem in VB .Net context.

Thanks in advance
 
Here's how to change that property in Visual Studio 2003:
1. Right-click on the setup project node in the Solution Explorer and select
View > File System
2. Select "Application Folder" node in the "File System on Target Machine"
tree
3. Right-click and select "Properties Window" if that isn't already showing
4. Edit "DefaultLocation". Keep in mind that [ProgramFilesFolder] is a token
that resolves based on the local machine settings, and it includes a
trailing backslash. Click F1 while on DefaultLocation for Help about other
special/pre-defined folder locations.
