Hi,
I build a merge module of a 64-bit application in VS2010. When I install it, the default target folder is C:\program files(x86)

How can I change the default target folder to C:\program files ?

Thanks,

Hi Debojyoti,

I don't think it's the answer of my question. I have no problem in the platform. And I did not see the general node as you mentioned.

Now the default installation location of the assembly is [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\...

I want the [ProgramFilesFolder] to be c:\program files rather than c:\program files(x86).

Thanks

I think I will use ProgramFilesXFolder in the application folder.

But where to set it in the merge module?
