Publish - location on Start menu

Hi
I now have 3 projects. When installed, they each create a different folder
on the Start/Programs menu.
I'd rather have one folder, with 3 shortcuts in it. How would I change my
publish options to do this?
Thanks

Vayse,

Simply create the same folder where you want the icons to appear - easy

Example:

Right-click USERS PROGRAMS FOLDER & Add, create your folder, which will be
the same for the 3 projects. After that you can just creat a shortcut to
your assembly & drag it to that folder

File System (Setup Project)

User's Programs Folder
My Folder
Shortcut 1 <---- for Setup Project 1
Shortcut 2 <---- for Setup Project 2
Shortcut 3 <---- for Setup Project 3

So, setup project 1 will only have the shortcut 1, setup project 2 will have
shortcut 2 etc.

Unless you want to have all 3 assemblies in the same Program Files folder
then do the same as above creating your shortcuts to those assemblies, drag
into MY FOLDER & build your setup project.

If you set the MY FOLDER to always Create then that should be ok

I hope this helps,

Basically, how do I know that the release versions of all components are being published? The Build | Configuration Manager is confusing me a little in VS2005. I have three projects in my solution: 1) web service website. 2) SOAP Extension Class Lib that compiles to a dll 3) WinForm application with a proxy to test the web service.

I have C# 2005 Express installed on a PC that is unconnected to the internet; therefore the copy is unregistered. I cannot see the Publish option under the Build menu option. Is this a penalty for not registering? Or is it that C# is not correctly installed? Any insights? Thanks.

I've created a small app which uses an access database. When I click Build Publish and choose publish to file eg.

What am I doing wrong? The few options given by the publish wizard only choose publish file location etc. and don't make...
