Sorry for the OT, but I am trying to stop myself from beating my head on the
desk.

I have created a C# app in VS2003 and want to deploy the app with VS2003's
package & Deployment wizard. The default installation path for VS2003 is
located in the Program Files\Manufacturer\ProductName folder, where
Manufacturer is the Company name that you used when you installed Visual
Studio, and ProductName is the name that you used for the deployment
project.

I don't want to use that path. How do I change the path from Program
Files\Manufacturer\ProductName folder to Program Files\SomeOtherFolder?

I know I can "add a special folder", but the MSI will not build the install
package if I don't put something in the Application folder. Not to mention
that the default location that is prompted to the user is still c:\Program
Files\Manufacturer\ProductName .

I miss Wise installer.
