Visual Studio 2005 Publishing Tool
-
I have a program that needs to be able to automatically update itself. One way to do that would be using the publishing tool that comes with Visual Studio. My question is how do you change the location where you install your program to? Also, is there a way to use a different installer (InstallShield, for example) instead of the one that is included? --------------------------------------------------- If it ain't broke, you're not doing your job!

If you're talking about ClickOnce deployment, you don't get to specify where the app is installed.

Sure, there's just no integration with Visual Studio. You'll have to assemble the installation package using the UI exposed by the app you're using.
