How do I add my program to the users start menu with VS2010 Setup Project?

I don't see an obvious place to do this.

What would be even better than this is a link to a reference that holds my hand through setting up projects so I can see how it is supposed to be done.

Thanks!

installation .net c#

Sorry I'm 11 years late for this but here is a way to do it:

  1. Right click on "Application Folder", click on "Properties", then change "AlwaysCreate" to true.
  2. right click on "Application Folder" and click "Create Shortcut to Application Folder"
  3. Rename the "Shortcut to Application Folder" to whatever name you choose.
  4. Drag that shortcut into the "User's Desktop" or "User's Programs menu".
  5. Build the project.
  6. You're done! :)
