Whenever I try to create an installer, it works just fine and installs my game, but there is one major problem – the shortcut in the Windows Start menu is always put into a folder called “None” instead of the name of my game. Do you know how to fix this? It’s been bugging me for months now 😦
Hey Jay. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to an instance of Visual Studio 2010 anymore, and Visual Studio 2012+ has removed the standard Setup Project that I used to create this blog post. The only thing I can suggest is to check out the different folder types in the file system (near steps 8 & 9 of my post). You should be able to define the names and contents of the Start Menu folder that is created.
You can drag and drop complete Folders into the Filesystem view with the Application Folder
The mentioning of the “manual creation of the content folder hierarchy” saved my life. Thank you so much.
