I am using .NET 2003. I created a setup program to install my
program. The shortcut is fine except the target does not point to the
executable, only to the path for the executable.
This is what I have done.
-In the File System Editor, I created a shortcut on the User's
Desktop.
-I did this by right clicking the User's Desktop and click on Create
Shortcut on User's Desktop.
-The shortcut is created and I change the name.
-In properties, I change Target and Working Folder to Application
Folder.
-I change the Name and Description to my program name.
-I select the icon I want to use in Icon.
When I run the setup program the icon is created ok, except only the
application path is in the Target. How can I get it to point directly
at my executable?
Thanks,

No need for all this hassle just to create a shortcut to your executable. Go
to the Application Folder, right click on your primary output and choose
create shortcut. Then, move this shortcut wherever you want and give it
whatever name you want. It will point on your executable.

Elp,
At first I did not know want you meant by move it where ever I want.
You meant drag it. That works. Thanks a lot.
