Where does setup put published Visual Studio programs?

I am using VS 2008 Express. I hit publish and get a setup program.
Whenever I finally install everything the link works, which is what I
want, but I can't find the executable. No .exe. The link to start the
program points to "nowhere." I know it points to somewhere, but I
can't find where. I asked this in the VS group, but got no answers.
What happens when a solution is published? Where's the executable?
Thanks.

I don't have express installed but the setup should put the files in the
ProgramFiles directory under a folder that has the name of our organization
as declared in the Windows setup.

Try looking in there for some name you recognize.

Does it put it as a "OneClick" application? I found it, but it is not
a regular executable, no .exe.
