How can I install the File System Editor?

Does anyone know how to add the File System Editor to a Visual Studio 2003
installation?

Thanks!

Thanks for asking.

Any ideas appreciated!

You already have it installed if you're running VS.NET.

See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...en-us/vsintro7/html/vxurfFileSystemEditor.asp

The File System Editor adds project outputs and other files to a deployment
project, to specify the locations where files will be installed on a target
computer, and to create shortcuts on a target computer.

To access the File System Editor, on the View menu, point to Editor,
and then click File System when a deployment project is selected in
Solution Explorer.

So, first create a deployment project, and then access the File System Editor,
as outlined above, from within your opened deployment project.

Hi Juan,



You're right! Thank you very much for your reply; with your help I was able
to find it after hours of banging my head.



Now that I've found it, I'll play around with it to try to solve my problem.



Thanks again!
