I have found a solution. Using Orca to edit the generated msi file from vsi you can edit the custom action table and change the line starting with DIR_CA_TARGETDIR so the target field is the directory of your applications final destination.

I have a project I created in Visual Basic 6.0. I would like to deploy this project using the Visual Studio Installer 1.1. The vb project must be installed into a directory (i.e. C:\TestDir) in order for the application to work. In the P&amp;D wizard it was easy enough to set the DefaultDir property in the setup.lst file to accomplish this but I cannot find an equivalant in VSI. So what I would like to do is create a installation package that skips the select installation folder dialog screen and simply forces the installation into a custom directory that I define. If anyone could help with this I eager to learn how its done.<br />
Thanks,<br />

VSI installation folder location

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
