I realize there is likely a simple method to do this but how does one create a desktop shortcut to the executable deployed by an MSI built using a Visual Studio Deployment project?

I imagine I need to use the Filesystem editor but when I create shortcut on the user's desktop I can't target the executable. I can only specify the target as the application folder not the specific executable.

wondering if any of you have actually used visual studio? when you add a primary output and right click it, theres no option to add a shortcut. if you create a shortcut, you cant select primary output as an option. the option simply is not there
