Wrong Target set in Desktop shortcut
-
Hi all, I have created setup for my program . This setup creates shortcut icon on my desktop. But this icon have wrong target set. Target shown is 'MyInstaller' ( where 'MyInstaller' is deployment project name ). When I check other shortcuts available on my desktop, I found Target is set to '"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe"' (for example). Why all the shortcuts created by me do not have such target? I wanted to use the target to process my documents. Do I miss some settings here? Thanks in advance !!

Show the code you use to create the shortcut, there is probably something wrong in it.

Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I haven't write any code for this. I followed below steps 1) add 'Setup Project' to the solution. 2) right click on Project, select 'View' => 'file system' 3) add 'primary output' to the Application Folder 4) create shortcut by right clicking on the primary output file 5) move this shortcut to the 'User's Desktop' folder Any idea how this can be handled?

Sorry, I have not used this process so cannot offer any suggestions, other than to suggest you check carefully that each step is referring to the correct object.

I'm afraid not, that's why I said "cannot offer any suggestions". However, you could try a Google search for 'using Installer class' and see what that comes up with.
