I have a console application and I want to deploy/share it using some msi/setup.exe

  • 0

I have a console application and I want to deploy/share it using some msi/setup.exe file. I have used Visual Studio Setup Project type. I have created a desktop shortcut in User’s desktop folder. But I can not point this shortcut to the application .exe file, it only allow to add application folder.

So what I want, once I install my application (using the msi/exe), it will create a shortcut in desktop, and then when I will click the shortcut it should open the application directly, and not the application folder.

Thanks,
Pritam

    I Haven’t done this for at least a year.
    But if I remember right’ Right click on the Project Output and select create shortcut (on the same folder of the output) and then drag and drop it to the desktop folder.
