I apologize in advance for the lameness of this question, but I just
cannot find documentation on how to do this. It seems like it should
be so simple.

I have a console application for which I want to create a Setup.Exe.
When Setup runs, it must not display any UI, only accept command line
arguments for the target location of the console app.

I think the solution is to create a deployment project in VS2003 in
the same solution as the console app that reads and validates the
command line args. But I don't know where to go from here.

Thanks in advance.
Mike

If you use a setup project to build an MSI file, you can use msiexec with
command line options:

and the /q option is for silent installs. msiexec /i your.msi
TARGETDIR=C:\Whatever is the way you set the installation folder.
