I have created a setup project that consists of 4 custom folders - only.
The files being installed are:

1) an xml file in 1 custom folder, whose location is [TARGETDIR]\folder1
2) a single DLL assembly in the remaining custom folders, where each
location is [TARGETDIR]\folder[2,3,4] respectively

There are no files going to any of the predefined folders. The problem I am
seeing is that TARGETDIR is not being set by the initial dialog where the
user browses for the installation location. Only if I set the Application
Folder's "DefaultLocation" property to the desired installation path, does
the install work. And then, it will only put the files in the
DefaultLocation\folder[1-4] locations. It will not use the value entered by
the user (i.e. if they change it from the default).

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Bob

Felix,

Thanks. It turns out I misunderstood how to use custom folders. I was
creating them outside the ApplicationFolder root - thinking that they would
use the TARGETDIR defined by the dialog. After I placed my custom folders
under the AppFolder built-in folder and set the defaultLocation of the
AppFolder, everything worked.
