Hi everyone,
I have created a very small windows application in Visual Studio 2005. I
have used the setup wizard to create the setup.exe. Everything installs and
runs fine however, I cannot find where the app is installed! I can run the
app from Start menu but I cannot find the app in Program Files directoy or
Windows Directory. This is probbaly a very simple question to those in the
know...please help :)

Thanks,
Zer0

Click to expand...

Which type of install did you choose? Did you create a ClickOnce deployment
package?
 
I chose the Publish option from the Build menu then selected "by CD". As you
can probably tell, I am new to Visual Studio.

Thanks for the reply,

Might seem like a daft suggestion... but did you search your C: drive for
the .exe??!?!

I've seen some programs install into C:\Program Files\<name of the company
from your assembly details>\<program name>\... folder

Right-click on the app in the start menu and select properties. On the properties dialog,
select to find target.

Yeah, that's a tad quicker than my suggestion... d'oh!!

Thanks for the replies people.
I have tried your suggestions and non work. When I right click the icon in
Start menu there is no Find Target....It says file type: Application
Reference. It has me baffled!
 
Guess it's back to my "search the HDD for it" idea then!!

Been googling this problem, apparently its due to the ClickOnce install
thingy. If anyone can shed more light on this or suggest a way to force the
install to create a folder in program files then please let me know :)

Thanks
