    Please help me understand INSTALLDIR and it's function/settings in Deploy. Under Deploy-Settings, MSI Settings. Install Folder is set to [ProgramFiles]\[Company]\[Product]. Does Deploy create this directory for you on the target computer or do you have to create it via a script? Where is this explained?

    Yes, this is generally how MSI installers work. The specified install folder is created if it does not exist.
    If you are not familiar with Windows Installers and MSI files, this would be a good starting point:

    Thank You Alexander, I appreciate the response. By mistake, I created a script to create the directory and it just didn't make sense. I will read the article you cited, thanks!
