When i use the 'Publish <ProjectName>' feature in VB .NET, a setup file is created. When u run the setup, u cannot specify where u want to install ure program. Is there any way to change that.

I think ClickOnce is pretty rigid, but you may be able to change the options. check this article:

That's why I always use a third-party Installer rather than the in-built installer.

You can use something as simple as SetupStream, or something advanced and professional as Ghost Installer and others.

But VB 2005 also has setup projects, web setup projects and setup wizards which give u a lot more options than the clickonce method. Its a bit complicated but helps u can make damn gud setup applcations. the bad thing is, it uses windows installer 3.0 which doesnt work for windows 9x and NT. Also I never knew that even VB6 has a deployment wizard.

When using the publish the install location is set to [Program files]\[Company Name]\[Program name]

If this is a single solution project.
Right click on the project header and hit properties.
The first tabe should be applications properties.
Click the assembly info to change company name-program name and then the install location will adapt to that.
