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

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,
Zer0

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.

Start menu there is no Find Target....It says file type: Application
Reference. It has me baffled!

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
Zer0
