问题
HI, I have a windows application in C#. I created and added a set up project to this solution. Then, built the solution. I refered to this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/SetupAndDeployment.aspx. I even added the shortcut of "Primary output of my application" to "User's Desktop" folder. But I am not able to find the installer file in Desktop, so that I can "double click" this installer file and install my Windows application. KINDLY HELP ME WITH THE PROCEDURE THAT NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED AFTER CREATING A SET UP PROJECT, ADDING IT TO A SOLUTION AND BUILDING THE SOLUTION. WHERE AND HOW TO FIND THE INSTALLER FILE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I AM MISSING.
回答1:
The installer file should be located in the bin folder of your installer project. Right click on the project in the project tree, and select "Open folder in windows explorer", and you'll find the bin directory.
The link on the desktop will only be present once the installer file has been run.

Whether this is 100% applicaple I don't know but it's something I'd think is worth a try which is if u know what the installer file is called why not do a search for that file to see if it's been stored somewhere else?

I apologise If I am stating the obvious to you, I have probably misunderstood your question if i am.
When you make a setup project the built setup files are in the Debug or Release folder of the setup project depending on your build settings
-setup.msi -setup.exe for example
clicking setup.exe will run the install the application
You copy them to the user's desktop and click to install your application?
