I created a Visual Studio 2005 application that works and installs on other user's computers, but not the way I want.
1. I want to create a single file that I can distribute to any user so when he clicks it, the application will be INSTALLED.
2. When it installs, it chooses to do in its own location. It does not give the user an option to save or install in a specific folder (where the application will be used because other files are there). How do i allow the user to save the the application in a specific folder?
3. I would like a single file that the user clicks to RUN the application. Is that the in*.exe?
