Okay, this seems odd. I had version 1.20 installed on clients computers. I just changed the software to 2.0. The Product Name is now: Software Name Version 2.0. However, when the installation is run, it still puts the new software under the old Software 1.20 folder.
My application folder is:
[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]
And my application shortcut folder is:
[ProgramMenuFolder][ProductName]
And as I mentioned, my product name is:
Software 2.0
But, when installed, it always goes to the prior version's folder. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Can't change installation path folder
Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,
This may happens if the Use original installation path when upgrading option is enabled in the Upgrades page.
By default a package uses the installation path of an older version when upgrading. If this option is unchecked, during an upgrade the package will use the Application Folder path defined in Install Parameters page, ignoring the original one.
If you have other questions, please let us know.
Best regards,
Dan
