I want to create a simple installer that installs a set of files to a specified directory for another application. Specifically, we use the Cisco VPN client, and I want to distribute profile files to all my users. The Cisco client stores it's profile files in a directory (C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\Profiles).
So, I simply want to install files to this directory, without creating the default "application folder" that the Advanced Installer seems to want to create.
Any ideas? Sould I be using something different to create the installer? Should I not be using an installer in the first place?
Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!

Hello,
If you already know the exact location where you want to install your files, you must create the path that you want. In the "Files and Folders" page select the Program Files item and press [Insert]. Rename this new folder "Cisco Systems". Press [Insert] again and name it "VPN Client". And the same for Profiles. This is where you will place your files. If you do not use Application Folder (there are no files in it) it will not be created and you can remove the "Select Location" dialog from User Interface -> Dialogs.
In case you aren't sure about the location, you must create a Search entry, and then create a New Folder>Property Based under "Files and Folders", "Target Computer".
Let me know if you have other problems.
Best,
Mihai
