Is there any way of creating a desktop shortcut using a ClickOnce Install?

You cant create a desktop shortcut in a ClickOnce install. You can only add them to the Start -> Programs menu.

If you want a dektop shortcut, then you should be looking at Windows Installer (MSI)

Is this not a bit of a shortcoming with Clickonce?  Are there any plans to include it with the production release of VS2005? (I am using Beta2 with Windows Forms)

Hi ajb2528,

I think in the same way providing functionality to create a desktop short cut is important and I think it should be standard today.

I agree - Lets get some votes going for it to be included in the release version!

Hi,

I reported it on Product Feedback Center (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=f95eeb9d-2bb4-47a0-a860-5711be76222f). You can vote there for the suggestion.

Ralph,

I have put my vote onto the site.

Regards,

Thank you :)

as you can see ms cannot implement it in this version, but they will consider in future.
