I have done my setup and deployment for my Windows Service on VS 2008.

Is there a place to set up the default Installation folder?

It is coming up:C:\Program Files\Default Company
Name\LabelPrintServiceDeployment\ and I would like to change that so it
comes up with the company name and another folder.

Thanks,

Tom

Right click on the setup project and select "View" then "File System". You
will see an explorer like window, showing among other folders, "Application
Folder". When you select that folder, there is a property that is named
"DefaultLocation". Change that to the new default that you want.

That worked fine. In 2008, apparently, you have to right click the
Application and select Properties to find it.

BTW, where does the msi get created when you do the install from VS. I
usually create my Deployment project, right click the project and install
from there and it installs it directly on my machine. But not sure where
the msi is created.

Right-click the setup project to open the properties for the project. In
the Properties for the setup project, there is an "Output file name" property
that controls where the MSI is built. It shows up under "Configuration
Properties", then "Build" in a treeview on the left side.
