Hi

I have created an installer using vs 2005, and created a shortcut of the exe in desktop.

This is working fine but when i right click the shortcut in desktop , Target is disabled and it's blank

How to solve this??

Visual Studio setups generate these advertised shortcuts, that's what they. There's no IDE support for switching these off, so you have to edit the MSI file with the Orca MSI editor. Go to the Property table and add the case-sensitive propertyDISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS and give it a value of 1.
