Visual Studio 安装项目内置支持管理目录名称更改
我有一个使用 Visual Studio 2010 制作的安装项目。
我制作的应用程序（以及安装项目部署的应用程序）已经发布了一段时间，因此有些用户已经在其计算机上安装了该应用程序。
自应用程序首次发布以来，我工作的公司已更名。我没有想太多，只是将安装项目的Deployment Project Properties中的[Manufacturer]名称更改为新的公司名称。
不幸的是，现在当用户使用新更新的应用程序更新现有的应用程序安装时，\Program Files\Old Company Name 中的目录保持不变，并且新目录 \Program Files \New Company Name 已创建，新更新将安装在此新目录中。
对我来说，为什么发生上述情况是有道理的 - 但是，您知道 Visual Studio 是否有我可以设置的选项/设置，它会告诉安装项目重命名现有的 \Program Files\Old Company Name 目录复制到 \Program Files\New Company Name，然后在该新目录中安装更新？
I have a Setup Project that I made using Visual Studio 2010.
The application that I made (and which the Setup Project deploys) has been released for a while now such that there are users that have the application already installed on their machines.
Since the initial release of the application, the company that I work for has changed its name. Without thinking too much about it, I simply changed the [Manufacturer] name in the setup project's Deployment Project Properties to the new company name.
Unfortunately, now when a user updates their existing installation of the application with the new updated application, the directory that was in \Program Files\Old Company Name remains untouched and a new directory \Program Files\New Company Name is created and the new update is installed in this new directory.
It makes sense to me why the scenario above is happening - However, do you know if Visual Studio has options/settings that I can set that will tell the setup project to rename the existing \Program Files\Old Company Name directory to \Program Files\New Company Name and then install the update in that new directory?

如果这是对应用程序的更新，那么实际上只能通过 Mark Hall 建议的自定义操作来实现。但是，如果是应用程序的完整安装，则可以强制卸载以前的版本并将新版本重新安装到新文件夹。
在您的安装项目属性中更新您的主要版本号并允许更新“产品代码”guid，确保“RemovePreviousVersion”为 true 并且“UpgradeCode”未更改。
这将强制卸载以前的版本并将新版本安装到新文件夹。
If this is an update to the application then, it is really only possible through custom actions as Mark Hall suggests. However if it is a complete installation of the application then it is possible to force a uninstall of the previous version and the reinstall to the new version to the new folder.
In your Setup Projects properties update your Major version number and allow the "Product code" guid to be updated, ensure that the "RemovePreviousVersion" is true and that the "UpgradeCode" has not changed.
This should force the uninstall of the previous version and install the new version to the new folder.
来回答你的问题。不，没有内置方法可以在通过 Visual Studio 安装项目安装之前重命名目录。如果可以完成，则需要通过自定义操作参见此有关自定义操作的 MSDN 论坛链接 和此 论坛链接。您最好的选择可能是进行完整安装，然后将所有设置从旧目录复制到新目录，然后删除旧目录。这可以通过运行自定义操作 在设置的提交操作期间。
To answer your question. No there is no built in way to rename your directory before install through the Visual Studio Setup Project. If it could be done it would need to be through a Custom Action See this MSDN Forum link on Custom Actions and this Forum Link also. Your best bet might be to to a full installation and then copy any settings from the old directory to the new directory then delete the old directory. That can be done running a Custom Action during the commit actions of the setup.
如果您不再需要 \Program Files\Old Company Name 目录，是否可以在新安装过程中将其删除？
If you don't need the \Program Files\Old Company Name directory anymore, can't you remove it as part of new installation?
