    How do I determine the output directory of a project (the place where temporary files are extracted)? Many thanks!

      Your question doesn't make any sense. A "projects" output, when compiled, ends up in the bin folder under your project's folder. When an installer unpacks itself, the files can go either in a folder hard coded into the installer, or one of the Temp folders, like C:\TEMP, C:\TMP, C:\Windows\Temp, ... What are you trying to do with this ability?? Is this code that's running in an installer as a custom action??

        Change it in the project properties, it can dictate which folder the files are stored in, and you can set where you want the compiler to output the debug and exe files
