How to change user shortcut in setup project.

CR
I want to change the target in the shortcut in the User's Programs
Menu in the setup project. I want the shortcut to point to an exe on
our local network. I've been doing this in VB6 and it works very well.
I don't have to reinstall all the client PCs every time I make a
change to my program. I just copy the new .exe up to the network.

Anyway how to I change where the shortcut in the Start-Programs menu
points to in the setup project?

Thanks!

Chuck.

I have a very strange problem. I have developed a .NET solution. To set up user clients I have also included a "Deployment Project" in the solution: Using "File System Editor | User's Program Menu" configuration a "Shortcut" is created and pointing to the client EXE-file. The created msi-file, NETProgram.msi, works perfectly on the clients. A Start Menu shortcut is correctly created in "C:\Documents and Settings\All

I use conditional compiler constants, set through the VBA IDE in Tools, <projectname> Properties, that I refer to throughout my code to control which code is used during development, and which during production. Usually, this only wraps code used to control quitting the whole app versus just shutting a form, but it can also control many other things. However, as part of the build before delivering an update, I have to remember to...

I think I am losing my mind. I've got a simple application for which I have a setup project to install the application. I create a shortcut to the applications project in the user's desktop. When I go to install the application it creates a shortcut to a shortcut instead of a shortcut to the application. Has anyone else seen this before????

Hey guys, So I created a setup project for my new app, but I don't know how to add a shortcut to the exe on the desktop. For now, I've created a link to the "Primary Output" of the project, but for some reason the icon it shows is a stack of papers, not the icon I have setup for the exe. The workaround I have in place is to create a shortcut manually after installing the project. Am I missing something here?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
