visual studio .net setup: I'm developing a Setup project in VS.net 2003 to install a simple
application. On the GUI form where the user can select the installation
location, it has radio buttons that allow the user to choose to install for
everyone or just for the current user. I can see no way to remove this option
or to otherwise customize this form. I also don't see any way to create my
own custom form that would replace this one without the radio buttons. Is
there any way to do this? It seems awfully silly to restrict things so much.

Thanks,

This might help:

and keep in mind that Visual Studio setup projects are not fully-featured
setups that can do all the things that 3rd party tools offer. If you want
customization, use Orca to edit the MSI file or use a tool that does what
you want.
