>There might be a way to do this within the Visual Studio Installer, I forget right now...but...there is this handy little sucker called ORCA that comes on the Platform SDK CD. It allows you to go out and manually edit the .msi file (table) and make changes like this. One thing that pisses me off is that if you create a shortcut on the desktop there is no way within the VSI to tell it the 'start-in' directory, which I think is kinda IMPORTANT...so I have to use the ORCA thingy for each setup I create just to do that.

Thanks Vic. I am using Orca now to hack the MSI file. I've been digging around and found the info on desktop shortcut you were talking about. Still haven't found where I can force a specific drive and directory yet, though. Found some areas that are probably close, but not working yet. Anyone else dug through the MSI after building with the Visual Studio Installer? Any help is welcomed!
