Hi all I did not find a suitable forum for this question. I am sorry if it is a bit off topic, but I hope someone can help me out anyway.
I have this VS2008 solution consisting of 2 c# application projects (lets call them A and B) and a deployment setup/project. After installation of the msi Aplication A is launched automatically and application B may be launched from the start menu. Here comes the problem: In the deployment project there are assemblies of both A and B in the "Application Folder". I have then created a shortcut to application B in a subfolder of the "User's Programs Menu" folder. When I click this shortcut after installation, then Application A is brutally killed. If I however launch application B from %ProgramFiles%, then Application A is not killed. I also tried putting the exe file for Application B directly in "User's Programs Menu" (which gave me a warning when building the msi). With this approach, I can successfully after installation of the msi click the Application B in the start menu. My question is: why can't I use a shortcut (which is the recommended way) in the start menu?
