I am having problems when it comes to setting the folder path where the files need to be installed to.
I want the files to be installed to a folder directly into c: for example c:\school and not c:\program files\school. The problem is I do not know how to set it so that it does not install to the program files folder. Can someone pls assist me
Thank you

How are you creating the install?
You can either select C:\ as the installation destination in the destination dialog, or set the TARGETDIR variable to C:\

I have look at the section where you add files to the prject, but there is not option so install the files to the C:\ directory. I only see the program files and windows ect, but not the c:\. I'm using InstallAware Express, can someone pls assist me

Hi,
Unfortunately that is not an option with the Express version. To install directly to C you would have to use MSIcode to edit the Install Files commands. With Express, you cannot edit the MSIcode.
