Hello,
We're using a deployment project in Visual Studio .NET 2003 to create desktop shortcuts upon installation. This works just fine, but I would like to use the deployment project properties such as Version when naming the shortcut.
We make frequent releases, and I would like each new installation to create shortcuts which include the version in it's name so that the shortcuts installed by a previous version do not get blown away.
I know I can rename the shortcuts by hand, but since we update the Version property for each release I would like it to happen automatically. Plus having to remember to change the shortcut name is just one more thing that can be missed when it is crunch time!
Any info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
