File Installation Management in Deployment

The File System Editor allows you to add project outputs, files, and other items to a deployment project and specify where they will be installed on the target computer.

By default the File System Editor displays a standard set of folders that correspond to the standard folder structure on a target computer. You can also add your own sub-folders to any folder, select from a list of additional special folders, or add a top-level custom folder.

When you select any folder or item in the File System Editor, any related properties are displayed and can be edited in the Properties window.

Most items in the File System Editor, including subfolders, project outputs, files, and shortcuts, can be moved between folders via dragging with the mouse or via the Cut and Paste commands on the Edit menu.

The following topics describe tasks that can be accomplished in the File System Editor.
