Installation directory
Hi,
I am installing my application package on a server which is 64 bit.
When I installed my app, it installed to C:\Program files (x86)\Reportbuilder folder.
My application does not work. [:@]
When I copied application folder to C:\Program Files\Reportbuilder, application worked fine. [;)]
So, I need to force my application to install to C:\Program Files\Reportbuilder instead of C:\Program files (x86)\Reportbuilder
I tried to do it using SetDirectory custom action to change INSTALLDIR to C:\Program Files\Reportbuilder but it is not working. [:(]
Anyone, can suggest how to achieve it.
Many Thanks in advance.....

First question
Is it a vendor MSI or capture apps?
By default application is installing to 'C:\Program files (x86)\Reportbuilder' it means your apps is 32 bit apps.
There may be possibility that path 'C:\Program Files\Reportbuilder' may be present in any config file.
So please check and resolve the hardcoding.
Bye.

If it's a 32-bit app then you shouldn't install it to program files (86).
Navnath is most probably right, your snapshot has some hard-coded paths inside it.
creating a new folder in the directory table should do the trick:
(don't forget to replace all ProgramFiles entries with ProgramFilesFolder_32 )
