How to specify exe custom package location for Suite project file
Using a 2016 Suite project file, I want to specify the location for my exe package. As it exists now they are put into a default location which is some random guid folder, ie: {8E1D8440-2F2E-46D2-B2C3-7E31BF5F7BC5}. But in my dvd, we do not put our exe in a folder named {8E1D8440-2F2E-46D2-B2C3-7E31BF5F7BC5}. I would have thought there would be an easy way to specify where the exe is located, and point the "Location" to that folder. But it doesn't appear to me there is such an option available. I would really prefer not to have to specify "Extract from setup.exe" since the packages are large and would balloon the size of the suite's .exe. And I'd be very surprised if i'm the only one who has ever run into this situation, but I am not seeing anything on the forums about what I would consider to be a very common and basic need. Is there a way to specify the location of the exe? Am I just blind and do not see it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
