I have an existing Visual Studio Extension which works out of the box.

However, some 3rd party code requires that a folder be created in a specific location (in the Visual Studio IDE directory) in order to allow the extension user to tweak some things as they like.

The extension will try to create this folder, but of course the IDE folder is permissions restricted as it should be.

I could create a custom EXE that the extension launches when it first starts, and specify that it does so under elevated permissions and then this EXE could create the folder that's required. But that seems wrong, and not in the spirit of extensions.

Therefore, I was wondering, is there anything I can do in my VSIX project to have the VSIX installer take care of creating the folder?
