    deployment issue

    Hi,

    I've deployed the app I wrote through an Install Wizard project. I place a
    link on the user's desktop, and in the program menu, using "shortcut to
    primary output....". When I click the icons on my computer the app starts
    up. Now when I installed it on a second test computer, I clicked on
    it....and it popped up the windows installer window....sayin g...preparing
    install....and then....cancell ing. After that the app does start up, but why
    is the windows installer launched (which does (apparently) nothing)?

    thanks

      Without more information, I can only tell you "what" is happening, but not
      "why".

      What is happening is that on the second test computer, when you click the
      shortcut, Windows Installer is checking that the app is installed
      correctly. If it detects something is incorrect, like a file or regkey is
      missing, it will "repair" the installation.
