How do I create a shortcut on the startup menu for a visual c++ .net app?
-
:confused:I have created an installer with setup.exe bootstrap, however I would like for my installer to create a shortcut on the startup menu for my visual c++ .net app, just like a regular program. Can anyone give me any advise, or point me to some documentation?

I am having same issue with vb.net the installer works but I cannot figure out how to add menu item to programs menu. In VB6 the package & deployment wizzard did this for me so I never gave it much thought. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Tom

Never mind I found it. Under "File System on Target Machine", right click on "Users Program menu" and select add folder. Thanks Tom
Yeh, Tom is quite right... after creating the folder , on the right hand panel right click and select "Create Shortcut". Gave a name to the shortcut and set itz properties e.g. "WorkingFolder" and "Target". In target set the exe name. In working folder navigate to the "Application folder" and set it. For placing an Shortcut on the desktop the same needs to be done under the "Users Desktop" node. Note : Right click on the "File System on Target Machine" select "Add Special Folder" and you will find more idea about where all you can place files or shortcuts during setup or do more customization. regards, Aryadip.
