Hi David
Thanks for your reply.
I have a VB.Net Solution comprising of two projects (1) MYPROGRAM (2)
MYPROGRAM_INSTALLER.
When I click the File-System Editor and click "User's Desktop" and then
right click to "Create New Shortcut" I have been asked to as to for which
file I have create shortcut. When I select "Application Folder" then I get
"Primary output from MYPROGRAM (active)" file.
Now my question which file's shortcut I have to create.... Actually I
created shortcut of MYPROGRAM.EXE file in MYPROGAM\obj\Release directory.
And when I installed the program. It copied two MYPROGRAM.exe. The first
one in the directory where I installed the program and the second one in
Document Settings--> Administrator -->Start Menu-->Programs.
Should I create the shortcut for PRIMARY OUTPUT FROM MYPROGRAM (Active)?
...... What is this "primary output from MyProgram (active) ??
Thanks in advance!

If you want to create a shortcut to those folders, just right-click and
select "Create Shortcut". You can do that for nearly any file/folder in
the File System Editor. Then, just drag them to where you want them to be
installed to. The User's Programs Menu is basically the Start menu.

There is one more problem I am facing but didn't get the solution. In my
Setup Program I am not been able to create 2 things (when the program is
intalled on the client machine ) : (1) create shortcut to my
program/utility(2) Entry in Windows' Start --> Program Menu.
Actually in my VB.Net solution I have two projects (1) MYPROGRAM (2)
MYPROGRAM_INSTALLER. MYPROGRAM is a "Windows Application".
MYPROGRAM_INSTALLER is a "SetUp Wizard" project.
Although on "File System Editor" in the Solution Explorer I can see (1)
Application Folder (2) User's Desktop and (3) User's Program Menu. But
somehow I am not been able to create short cuts for Start Menu and Users'
Desktop.
May be you can tell me in simple steps....
Thanks in advance!
