This article describes the steps to set INSTALLDIR to the root directory of the drive to which Windows is installed.
Discussion
To set INSTALLDIR to point to a root drive, follow these steps:
- Select the General Information view.
- Click Product Properties to display the property grid.
- Select the INSTALLDIR property in the right panel.
- Click the ellipsis in the value field for this property and select the [WindowsVolume] option in the browse dialog that appears.
This folder places the installation on the root directory of the target machine because the property [WindowsVolume] evaluates to the drive letter that contains the Windows operating system.
Additional Information
To comply with Windows Logo requirements, the application?s default destination must be a subfolder of the Program Files Folder, which can vary depending on the system's locale and user settings. To use [ProgramFilesFolder] in the default value of the INSTALLDIR property, will use the operating system supplied value and will install the product in the correct destination.
