Needing some help on how to ceate a simple aplication.

Hello,

I work mostly in web design and usually I create an administration area.
To access administration my clients usually visit a link on their
browsers.

I would like to create a windows installer which does the following:
1. Opens a directory and copies several files from the CD to the
computer.
2. Places icons on the desktop and start menu.

One of the files will be a program which when clicked will open a window
with fixed dimensions and load an offline html page in it.
I know this is quite simple but I do mostly web design and I don't know
a lot about creating applications even if simple and I would like some
guidance.

I am not sure if this is the right forum but I don't know any other.

Thank You Very Much,
Miguel

If all the program is going to do is show an offline html file, why not just
make shortcuts that launch the html in IE?

Try creating a new setup / deployment project in VS. In there you can create
directories, add things to the start bar and desktop and so-on.

Whilst you could so this with an install project, that isn't the way I would
go.
I'd use a .bat file instead.
You can just use (whatever dos is called now) commands, xcopy your files and
stuff.
Dunno why you want a program that opens a window and loads an offline html
page.
You could just open the html page from your bat file.
Use start to show the html and allow the dos box you get from the bat file
to close.

Any good?
