I'm creating my installer package using the MS Deployment Environment (VB.NET). Everything works just fine except I can't get shortcuts installed properly. When my project is installed and my shortcuts are placed on the User's Desktop and the User's Program Menu, the shortcuts point to the folder where the EXE is installed, not the EXE itself. In other words, the properties of the installed shortcuts are:

Target: Health Tracking Assistant

Start in: c:\Program Files\Health Tracking Assistant


The "Start in" is correct, but the target should be:

c:\Program Files\Health Tracking Assistant\HTA.exe

In the MS Development Environment, I have the target in my shortcut properties setup as "Primary Output", which points to the main EXE in the Application Folder.

Any ideas out there?
