How can I create a setup and deploment project which does not create
Advertised Shortcuts.

Get hold of Orca from the Windows SDK, install from Orca.msi.
Use it to open your built MSI file, go to the Property table.
Add a new row, property name case-sensitive DISABLEADVTSHOR TCUTS and give it
a value of 1.
Save the MSI file. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368297.aspx

Thanks Phil, But do you know if it is possible to do this in the Visual
Studio Setup and Deployment project?

No it's not. This should be in a FAQ somewhere, but VS setup projects simply
do not offer IDE support to all the features of Windows Installer. If you
want IDE support for more than one feature, custom actions in the UI
sequence, your own custom dialogs, support for patches, non-advertised
shortcuts etc etc then go for another tool. That's why InstallShield, Wise,
Wix, Advanced Installer and so on are in business.

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is any way to add a condition
to your setup project so that the user can choose if they
want a desktop shortcut or a program menu by selecting a
checkbox. I know that you can use conditions on files,
but I can't get it to work with shortcuts. I tried to
apply the condition to the folders instead of the
shortcuts themselves, but the setup program doesn't seem
to care. It just ignores if the checkboxes...

Hi,
I want to know if there is a place to learn about Setup Projects, because
I'm trying to make one but can't do the things I want to do, like add a
registry key or allow the user to select/unselect optional parts.
Can somebody help please or supply a link to a place where I could find the
ansers or just learn how to make these projects?
Thanks

I know .NET setup projects use "Windows Installer" shortcuts instead of
ordinary shortcuts, but I'm having trouble with those, so I'd like to
hard-code some ordinary shortcuts in the user's start menu. The problem
is, the setup project will let me put every kind of file in the start
menu except .lnk files. The one file type I need is the one file type
which seems to be rejected.
Perhaps there is some trick I don't know about. For the...

Hi,
I want to create an option for creating shortcuts to my application
on the users desktop and Start menu in the setup. In my deployment
project i have created the necessary checkboxes, and tried to set
Conditions on the folders "User's desktop" and "User's Program Menu",
but the conditions doesnt seem to affect shortcuts, only physical
files...
Have anyone else run into these kinds of problems, or am i just
missing something obvious...

OK, sorry for the silly question but.....
I have been writing apps for a while now in VB.Net but I have always just
run them from the IDE. This time though I have written an app that I want
to install on many computers. So, I went to the program group looking for
"Package & Deployment Wizard" as in VB6 but it isn't there! So, how do I
create a setup program??
Thanks

I want to deploy a service with a windows app and the setup program

issue,
what else is available?

Microsoft blows my mind sometimes, what the hell were they thinking? Oh, wait they weren't, that's right.
Anyway, I've got a Setup and Deployment added to my project, and it does everything I want it to, with 1 exception. I have created the infamous fonts folder in order for it to install fonts, but it's only putting shortcuts to them in the fonts folder under the windows directory. Why is this? With only shortcuts to them, I can not use...

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:
