You indicate that the application is located in the Sandbox which seems quite strange to me..

In order to create a package having the application located in c:\AppName simply create a folder called %drive_C% in your project. This represents the root of the C-drive. Then create the AppName folder within it and copy the content into it.

Or simply install it into the correct path during Setup Capture.

I install the application in the correct path during the capture. But when I execute the app it create in C:\"location"\appname\%drive_C%. I what all my app files to be in c:\appname directory. I look in my projet and I find the %drive_C% with my files in it.

But that is the Sandbox. Things modified by the application will end up in the Sandbox if the isolation modes do not allow it to be changed on your physical machine. Modifications made to virtual elements will always end up in the Sandbox.


Please have a look here for more details:
