Install to OS Drive
Trying to install to C:\MyApplication\ instead of C:\Program Files\MyApplication and haven't been able to find out how to do this.
Basically, say Windows XP or Vista or Windows 7 or whatever is installed on the C:\ drive, then I would like to install to C:\MyApplication\ where MyApplication is a folder that is the name of my application.
Any ideas on how to do this? I haven't been able to figure it out.
Any input is much appreciated!

My project is an InstallScript project and it doesn't give me the option of "New Folder" when right clicking on Destination Computer

Go to Installation Designer -> Installation Information -> General Information -> Product properties.
Here you will find a property INSTALLDIR.
Change the value to [WindowsVolume]MyApplication. The default destination will be changed to C:\MyApplication\ instead of C:\Program Files\MyApplication.
For InstallScript projects—TARGETDIR, initialized by default to PROGRAMFILES ^ IFX_COMPANY_NAME ^ IFX_PRODUCT_NAME in the default script code for the OnFirstUIBefore event handler function. you can change this to WINDOWSVOLUME ^ IFX_PRODUCT_NAME to fulfill your requirement.
Hope this will work.
