    VB Desktop shortcut

    I have a database program created in VB 2005 Express Edition and I need to create an installer that creates a desktop short cut. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this task? I know how to create the installer to put a shortcut on the start menu. I need it to create a desktop shortcut. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The VS Express editions only allow you to use the ClickOnce deployment (which is really crappy) so you'll need to look into: INNO, Wise, InstallSheild, etc
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.
