Package & Deployment Wizard - Start Menu Items

Start Menu Items

Installation Title

This screen is very simple; all it wants to know is the text that should be displayed during setup, for example 'Microsoft Word Setup'.

Start Menu Items

This screen allows us to specify what installed files can be accessed via the Start Menu.

You can use the New Group and New Item buttons to add the items and folders you want added to the Start Menu.

If you want to have just one item on the start menu, then simply click New Item and select your EXE file.

If you want more than one item to be added (such as your program, and a link to the readme file), then you usually create a folder and place the icons in there. To do this, click New Group. Enter the name for the group (such as 'Microsoft Office'), and click OK. Next, click New Item, and select the files you want added to this group (such as Microsoft Word and Readme).

    No problem, Sallen. I'd be happy to help out if I can. I remember looking a while for answers for a while and finally gave up. Let me know if you found a legitimate solution. Good luck!
