Clickonce modification to add another link?

I have established how to use the click once system to include multiple project's exe's in a SINGLE click once deployment.

Now, with that said, it just adds the secondary project's exe(and its required files) to the install directory. Cool.

BUT, to avoid making a button that says 'Run Program 2' in Program 1's screen, does anyone know of a hack/mod to add another link to the start menu's folder?

So it'll show, Support for 'Project 1', Project 1, then add the link for Project 2?

I searched, didnt find an answer. Thanks for the help in advance.

The simple fact is that you shouldn't be using ClickOnce. It's designed to work a specific way and do specific things. You should be using Windows Installer, in which case you have the freedom to install whatever you want wherever you want.

I understand that, I really do. But for ease of use for updating, its best.

Reason: I have tried making an installer, but it doesn't utilize click once updating.

That's all well and good but if the limitations of ClickOnce prevent you doing other things you need to do then you can't use ClickOnce. If you need to do A and B and X can only do A then you can't use X, plain and simple.

Understood. I read sometime ago it was possible to modify clickonce to change things in it (but it was difficult). Was curious if anyone knew HOW to do it.
