Hi all,
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Well I managed to cobble my first package together and came up with a couple small problems. I'll just deal with one at a time. Install worked fine except when I clicked Start -> Programs -> Myprogram, It said the shortcut to the exe was wrong. It was simple enough to correct(either the computor searches for it or you can brouse to it) but I wonder what I need to do to fix this in my setup program. Does the program title and project name need to be the same. The exe is Project1.exe and since I was sure it was going to blow up my computer, I didn't notice what exe it was looking for.
Thanks

Grizz2,
One of the last steps in the package & deployment wizard is setting up the start menu shortcuts. Check the Start In directory for $(AppPath) for the short cut.

Thanks, I must have missed that path. Is there a way to go through the script for that package to see what was done?
I looked at "Manage Scripts" in the wizard but doesn't seem to give you the option of viewing them.
Thanks again
