Hi,

I have VS.NET Deployment project and is permit change the installation path.
I need to make a registry entry with the installation path that user select.

Add a registry item somewhere and put [TARGETDIR] in the Value.
Case-sensitive, including brackets. It will get resolved to the actual value
at install time (even if the user changes it).
