how to specify root directory in teststand deployment utility

[DGriffithjr]

I am trying to build a Teststand deployment.  I have the Default Installation Base Directory set to Windows Volume (e.g. C:\).  How do you specify the Default Installation Subdirectory as the root level directory?  This option cannot be blank and specifying 'C:\' is invalid and specifying 'C' will create a subdirectory 'C' within the root directory.

 I think that is a known issue since TestStand 4.0, I found it within the TestStand 4.2.1 known issues link.

Leaving the Default Installation Subdirectory field empty in the Installer Options tab of the TestStand Deployment Utility results in a build error
If you leave the Default Installation Subdirectory field empty in the Installer Options tab of the TestStand Deployment Utility because you want the files to install in the base directory, the deployment utility returns the following message when you attempt to build: "The build contains one or more invalid paths: Invalid Default Installation Subdirectory: """

Workaround: Place a period in the Default Installation Subdirectory field to install files in the base directory.

It looks like you can just use a period.  I was going to suggest using a batch file to move your installed files to the correct directory but I think the above Workaround should work.

Thanks,
