i would like the installer to put an icon shortcut to my app created in vb.net. how do i do this?
i am using click once
edit:
i am using visual basic express 2008. perhaps it is not possible to add the icon to desktop using the built in installer?
nope i want an icon added to the desktop after application is installed

do you have a tree to the left of Add Project dialog with a list of project categories? http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4222/addprojectsetup.png

Also I found this: http://bytes.com/topic/visual-basic-net/answers/437573-no-setup-project-2005-express-edition it seems that there is no Setup Projects in Express, only in Pro+ editions of VS, unfortunately.. but try Publish menu!

A:
Every installer does that differently, depending on what you are using you should be able to find a feature to add the icon to the desktop.
What installer are you using? .Net Deployment wizard?
