Setting output/Releases folder

[stefanolson]

In my solution I have two projects that use Squirrel. Unfortunately, this means that whenever you call New-Release for one project it creates a setup.exe that kills the previous one.

So there are a couple of issues here:

1. I can't seem to specify a releases directory, as is suggested here: GNU/Linux Support Squirrel.Windows#106
   if I do that I get this output from powershell:
   PM> new-release -ReleasesDirectory c:\temp
   New-Release : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ReleasesDirectory'.

How do I specify a different directory?

2 If a change from one project to another and call New-Release, the resulting setup just crashes. Basically it appears that the process that builds the setup doesn't completely overwrite the previous setup, if for example I change the title and then build a new release then the setup hasn't been updated with the new title. You basically have to delete all setup files to get it to build properly.

Thanks @peters. I looked through the file, but I'm not sure how to use it within the package manager console.

I decided the best thing to do this case is to create a second solution, so that it will correctly create the second project's setup un different folder.

I think future releases of Squirrel should place the releases in the project folder rather than the solution folder and this would solve the problem (do I need to submit a new feature request for that?)
