I've got a program that runs and build fine. When I publish it (offline app) it creates all the necessary files in the right folder. When I install the program, it creates a shortcut in Startup, Programs....but where is the .exe stored? I looked in the c:\ and program files, but found nothing. I need the .exe because I need to make a file association with it so when the user double-clicks this file type my application will open it.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.
 
When you say you "Publish it" what do you mean exactly?

Do you have a setup package created?

A setup package would normally put it under C:\Program Files\Your Project Name\program.exe

 
Well by publish, I mean I go to Build, then Publish on the menu bar.

I don't have a setup package created (at least I don't think I do)....how do I create one?
