VS Installer Question

Hi there!!

I have an app that goes on the website to check if there is a new version of the software. If so it downloads the exe and copies it in the app.path. The problem with VS installer is that I create a shortcut to the users desktop and when this shortcut is used the app.path now becomes the Desktop and the new version is downloaded to the desktop.. But if I create a shortcut myself to the exe on the desktop it works fine.. .I wondering why the VS installer would give the shortcut it created the app.path to the desktop and if a setting can be changed in the vs installer to fix this..

thanks

Jac

If you do not know, why post? :rolleyes:

I misread the forum and thought i knew what he was saying but when i reread it i understood and did not know the answer. I thought he just couldnt install Visual Studio onto his computer.

You seem to be posted alot of unnecessary posts in alot of the forums. Do you know anything about programming, or are you just leading people on?:mad:

I am trying to learn about programming in different languages. I ahve never stated I know a language. I am trying to help others the best I can. I will try to post more NECESSARY things.

hehehe .. alright now get long guys..hehehe anyway anybody know anything about my question.. I tried a message box with app.path.. It gave the right path. So now I thing its the Inet component that does not work right with the shortcut that the VS installer creates.. anyway if anybody can help it would be great..

So I assume the resetting the shortcut like I mention earlier is not an option?

Hmmm not exactly sure what you mean by resetting the shortcut..

get Visual Studio Installer 1.1 : Fixes tons of problems!

well got a little head way .. I checked on the properties of the shortcut that the VS installer creates. It runs the exe but in the shorcut properties there is nothing in the "start in" property.. obviously this is the problem.. now can I set that property from the VS installer???
