Have developed a simple Windows application in VS2005, using Visual Basic. It works fine. Problem is related in installing it using a setup program.
The program installs on my (development) machine and also on another machine via the webpage with the install button on it.. A new entry in the Start Menu is created which points to an Application Reference in Documents and Settings/User Name/StartMenu/Programs/Program Name. I cannot find the exe file on my machine (other than the one which was created in developing the application in its project/bin/debug folder) and this is dated before I clicked the install button. Where is the exe?
Also, my main problem which, perhaps is connected with the above, is that I cannot create any shortcuts on the desktop by adding them to the User's Desktop folder in File System Editor.
I have right clicked the Application folder and selected Add Project Output which creates Primary Output file. I then right clicked it to create a shortcut which I dragged to the User's Desktop folder. However, when I install from the webpage, no shortcut appears on the desktop. Have also tried inserting folders containing files in the User's Desktop folder but they still do not appear.
The default location for the Application folder is [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName] the application is not in this folder.
Have searched high and low for an answer but cannot find one.
Would be most grateful for anyone's help.
