>Installshield Express is not expensive, and will allow this control. Are you sure that the VSI will not allow this, or is just suggesting it? I would not think they could force you to use that directory.

That's what I would think, but under the install properties, I'm prompted for the Location of the installation folder, my choices are:
1. Program File Folder
2. Common Files Folder
3. User's Application Data Folder
4. User's Personal Data

What so it controls the parent folder... I'd like to put it in c:\myprog instead of c:\program files\myprog. You get the point.

Might just have to bite the bullet and buy Installshield.
Thanks!
