C# Deployment Wizard

[C# WannaBe]

Hi,

I created a C# deployment wizard to deploy my project.
The project gets deployed correctly, all the files get copied
to the correct folder etc. The only problem is that it does not
create any desktop icons, or entries in the Start->Programs menu.
There is no way to start the program that has been deployed!

What am I doing wrong here? Any help appreciated.

thanks

On the "Files on target Machine" --> "Application Folder" --->."Primary
output of your project" right click and creat a short cut. Move this
short cut to 'User's program Menu" folder .

Repeate same procedure and move the newly create short cut to the "user's
desk top" folder.

Both will create a program's and desktop shortcuts to your application.

Note that, all the stuff I am talking about is inside "setup and deployment
project". I am sure you know how to access this ....View--> Editor-->Files
System.

Hope this helps

Thank you Yonas! It works like a charm!
One quick question: currently when the program is installed, the user has
the option to change the installation folder. How can
I make it so they have no option but to accept the default folder?

thanks again!
