I've created a Setup Project for my application and I
want the shortcut that is created on the Desktop to point
to a network install of the application.

How do I change the shortcut in the Setup Project to
point to the network exe file? So that when the
application is installed on the clients machine the
shortcut points to the network exe file.

Thanks for any help.....

Hi Brian
Does right clicking on the righ panel from the "User's desktop" in the
filesystem from setup not give a properyfolder with below "workfolder"?

Yes it does but it doesn't let you change the work folder
to a network directory.

Brian,
My question about the user desktop was wrong, what I now understand is that
you want
to deploy it on to the client and then tell that it is deployed on the
network

I think that it will give stupid misunderstandings if such a thing is
possible with the deploymentsystem.

What I thought about was maybe you can try to make an empty deployment.
(I don't know if that is possible)

In Setup Projects you are only allowed to create shortcuts to the files you
actually install. This is because the shortcut created will actively
monitor the target and if target ever gets accidentally deleted launching
the shortcut will automatically relaunch the installation package to repair
the target.

To install to a network folder, you right click the File System Editor root
node and select Special Folders->Custom Folder. Then you change the
default location property of the new folder from [TARGETDIR] to your actual
network location \\MyComputer\MyShare for instance. You may then rename
that folder to something friendly (MyNetwork folder). You should add your
app to the network folder and create a shortcut to the app and set the
working folder to the network folder as well.
