sql server reporting services : Default Folder for Deploying Projects

I have a real (hopefully) easy question...

I'm wanting to deploy a Reporting Services project to a particular folder on
my virtual server. For example, whenever you deploy a project it goes
straight to the home directory and creates the MODELS and DATA SOURCES
folders.

I would like to deploy my project to a folder I created called REPORTING
COMPONENTS.

Is this possible?

I've tried that in the past and when I do I get the following error when
specifying any directory besides the default.
Here's where I want them to go:

http://10.90.160.13/ReportServerTest/Reporting Components:

Here's the error:

Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with an empty response.

I eventually figured it out.... :-)

There are three properties: target folderr for models, data sources, and
URL. I was modifying the URL...no no no!!!

I modified the target folders and everything is peachy...

Thanks for your help Bruce...!

Right mouse click, properties on the project. It brings up a property page
where you specify what you want it called on the server.

Is ReportServerTest the name of you reportserver directory? Usually this
would look like http://10.90.160.13/ReportServer/Reporting Components

RS creates two websites: ReportServer and Reports. Reports is the portal.
ReportServer is the asp.net application. Did you not install in the default
area?

You can specify the final directory, you cannot specify anything but
ReportServer (or whatever RS website is called).
