    SHortcuts will not point to my exe

    This is really wierd.

    I add a setup project to my windows app, go through all the steps, build it then deploy.

    Everything works fine except the fact that the shortcuts I creat on the desktop and in the program files all point to the folder and not the executable.

    When I open up my setup project again, right click on the shortcuts and try to alter the target property of the shortcut I only get the choice of "Application Folder", "Users Desktop" or "Users Programs Menu".

    There seems to be no way for me to say "Application folder & this exe file".

    What am I doing wrong ?

    Thanks In Advance

    By the way do you have any idea how to add icons to shortcuts during installation.

    No joy I'm afraid.

    This VS.net deployment project sucks.
