Check out this link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vbcontheregistryeditor.asp
It discusses the Registry Editor which can be used when deploying
applications.
However, if you want the installation path that the user selects, the only
way that I know is to use a Custom Action. Check this link:

Good Luck!

Just make a registry entry in VS and put [TARGETDIR] in the value.

Hello,

maybe I am simple to dumb to see how it works, but how can I modify by setup
project that its write the install path into the registry.
I assume there is aways to tell the installer to write a key with the
installation dir into registry.

thanx
R.
