Hello,

I have windows application developed in vb.net which watches file system changes to a specific directory.

Now I need to create a setup for above mention scenario where user need a option to select which folder to be watched when the application initially setup-ed.

My client is asking me to create a setup with a custom screen where user can select directory at that time of installing the setup.

Can any one suggest me how to do it!!!!!!

Advanced Thanks.

If you're using VB Express, then it's messy. AFAIK, you'd have to create a new Click-Once application to do that, but then that app would be installed on the machine so, you'd have to figure out a way to remove that app once the main app was run.

If you're using any other version of Visual Studio, you can create an installation project to do that. See here: How to create a Setup package by using Visual Studio .NET[^]
