I am new to VB2013 and I want to create an install routine to allow user to install to a particular location for all users. I could do this in previous versions with an install project but cannot find how to do this in VB2013.

What do you mean by "install project"? Isn't that the one which have been bundled with Visual Studio?
How custom?

Visual Studio 2013 does not contain the well-known installer projects.
But there is a successor: InstallShield LE.
You must install it before you can use it.
File -> New Project -> Other Project Types -> "Enable InstallShield Limited Edition".
When the installation is done
you will find "InstallShield Limited Edition Project"
under File -> New Project -> Other Project Types
