VB.Net 2005 EEd - Install Path?

[pratham2003]

I am using VB.net 2005 express edition.
I cannot choose where my applications are to be installed...
They install in some location like
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Apps\2 .0

Is there a way to choose where the application is installed?


Also the {program_name}. exe.config.xml (app.config) in that folder reveals my connection string that i am using to connect to a PASSWORD PROTECTED ms access database file...
How can i hide that password? or encrypt it?

Don't put your connection string in the Properties section if you are woried about it being seen
