Hi Howie,

You're probably better off adding a shortcut to the desktop and leaving the
..exe in the installation directory, unless you have some really special needs.

Assuming that you're using a VS setup project, here's a quick guide:

"How to create shortcuts for [VS setup projects]"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307358
If you really need to allow the user to choose the location for the .exe you
should allow it to be installed in the installation directory and then move it
using a custom installer:

"Walkthrough - Creating a Custom Action"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...2d(VS.80).aspx

The user can choose the path in a custom interface dialog that you'll have to
create:

"User Interface Management in Deployment"
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...faceeditor.asp
