I quite like the deployment mehtod of VS 2005 but have a niggle and wonder if there is a work around.
Sometimes I write a simple console application that needs to run from a command line or batch file.
If I deploy the application it is not in the path, nor is it in a fixed
directory such as \Program Files\..., nor available to other users
apparently.
The work around is to install then copy the exe manually (after I find
it) to a known place, downside is uninstall and reinstall means do it
again or else wonder why your fix does not appear to fix on the target
machine but does on the development machine.
Is there a "proper" package that does a normal Windows install to a target directory in Program Files for VS 2005 projects.
Yours in deep frustration.
Michael.

Got it to work, however can not get a Start programs link to install with it. Read instructions that say "create a shortcut link in the application project directory" which directory exactly and a shortcut link to what as it has to point to something

you can make a setupproject, which will create a .msi setup file. just go to file->new->project->other project types-> setup and deployment -> setup project.

In the filesystem editor go to Users Programs Menu and right click the right panel and choose "create new shortcut" and then choose the project output from your applications folder. Now a Startmenu Entry will get installed with your application.
