I would like to prevent the user from being able to change the target installation path for the application folder when installing my application.

I am using VS 2005 Pro.

Thanks for any ideas.
 
Change your install script to not prompt them for the installation path.

I am using VS .Net 2005 to build the installation. The output is a setup.exe file and an .msi file. I'm not aware of a way to access any kind of script for this setup/deployment type.
 
This is the problem with relying on the wizards. They don't give you enough control to have it do exactly what you want.

Try buying a commercial setup creator program, such as Wise, Installshield, or Inno.
