I did look at the MSI SDK. It gave me more keywords that I could search for. After searching and spending the day yesterday modifying my code and running the created MSI, I was able to change the directory that I was installing to. I apologize for my sarcastic response and hope I didn't offend anyone. I'll keep searching the reference material and when I get to my wits end, I'll put off asking my questions and go back to searching some more and then I'll re-read what helped me the most http://geekswithblogs.net/jwatson/archive/2006/11/03/96052.aspx

What further questions do you have after studying that? Sarcastic slamming of helpful responses is unlikely to encourage people to help you further, and is likely to put off others who might have helped. > From: SToney [mailto:stoneya...@...] > > Thank you so much for your invaluable reply.
