Shortcut on Desktop takes to application folder, not running the application.

Question

Hi, I am trying to use Setup project. Want my setup to create a desktop shortcut with my application. I donot understand how to do it. Clicked on User's desktop, I created Shortcut to User's desktop, changed the properties Target and Working Folder as 'Application Folder' But it does not connect with MyApplication.exe When I ran the setup and tested Desktop short cut, it took me to the folder where application was installed, instead of running the application.

How to make the application run using this shortcut? Thanks Furqan

Not completely clear, but this

changed the properties Target and Working Folder as 'Application Folder'

suggests you have set Target as Application Folder. Target should instead be set as your exe - by setting Target you set what the shortcut actually does.
