Adding Desktop Shortcut in Setup Project

[variaas]

Hey guys,

So I created a setup project for my new app, but I don't know how to add a shortcut to the exe on the desktop. For now, I've created a link to the "Primary Output" of the project, but for some reason the icon it shows is a stack of papers, not the icon I have setup for the exe. The workaround I have in place is to create a shortcut manually after installing the project.

Am I missing something here?

Under the properties of the shortcut you created there should be an icon field. Browse to the icon and that should do it.

Hope that is what you mean.

Thanks! That worked for me!
