Publish - Specify location on client pc?

[sh211618]

Hi,

I'm using the Publish functionality from Visual Studio 2005 to create an installation package for an application.
I publish to a UNC path and everything works fine.

I am just wondering if it is possible to define the directory the application has to be installed to on the client PC. Currently the application is being installed somewhere in the local documents, but I would like to specify the installation directory myself, e.g. Program files\[application].
I know that when creating a setup project, you can specify all these things, but a setup project can not be published. Using the publish functionality I haven't found a place where I can define the installation directory on the client PC.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,
André
