I have small project with help system (HTML and images). All these files are
integrated into project CAB file and are going to main project folder where
from I can move them into windows, windows\help folders from the C# code.
But is there any way to setup to move them during installation process and
create appropriate shortcut to HTML file?

Thanks!

You can manually edit the .inf file which is used to build your cab files.
Then you can create a new group of files for your help content and set the
destination to the windows folder. You can follow this example available to
download here:-

This shows the addition of some additional file groupings (for ADOCE but the
same technique would apply to a group of help files to be installed in
\windows)

Thanks Peter! Exactly what I need. But where I can find decoding
abbreviation of folders like %CE% etc? I tried to find some info in MSDN but
with no luck...

See the Visual Studio help for the article titled "
Windows CE Directory Identifiers"
This lists all the CE* identifiers supported.
