Change the Build Output Directory

You can specify the location of output generated by your project.

The Output file name box in the Setup project property page differs from the Output Path box in other project property pages in that it changes only the location of the Setup.exe file, not the project files. For more information, see Build, Configuration Properties, Deployment Project Properties Dialog Box.

##Changing the Build Output directory

To change the build output directory

  1. On the menu bar, choose Project, _Appname _Properties. You can also right-click the project node in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  2. If you have a Visual Basic project, select the Compile tab. If you have a Visual C# project, select the Build tab. If you have a C++ project or a JavaScript project, select the General tab.

  3. Find the output path entry (Build output path in Visual Basic, Output Directory in Visual C++, Output Path in JavaScript and C#). Specify a new build output directory relative to the project directory.
