I have a VS 2010 executable program that runs as intended in either of two locations if I edit/change the installer offered path. I would like to construct the VS installer so it would automatically modify the offered path based on the path it found itself in. That is if I placed the installer in:

c:\locatoneone\

the offered path would become:

c:\locationone\myprogram.exe

Alternatively, if I placed the installer in:

c:\locationtwo\

The offered path would become:

c:\locationtwo\myprogram.exe

I beleive I have seen this using a symbol but I cannot find a reference.

Please help

If I transfer using Team Viewer from one computer to this one, the file is found immediately. However, if the other program creates/writes a new version of the file, my loop finds the first such file immediately but it only finds subsequent new files spasmodically. If I leave my program looping, it will usually find the new file after several minutes. If I examine the created/written file, I find it has indeed been updated with new data appended and a new date modified has been posted. Yet my loop returns the same ftWrite.dwHighDateTime value as previously returned. I suspect it is not truly reading the new Write Time. Why? if(interval==0) { if(_access_s("C:/RMS/RMS TRIMODE/LOGS/RMS Trimode_ADIF_201211.adi",00)==0)//ch
