  <blockquote>
    <p>In your Deployment Project go to File System Editor<br> Click on
    "Application Folder" (I assume you have "Primary Output" from your
    projects there)<br> Right click on "Primary Output" of the project you
    want to target with your shortcut - select "Create Shortcut to Primary
    Output ..."<br> Rename shortcut<br> Drag shortcut to Desktop /
    Programs Menu folder<br></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It all works fine, BUT when you right click on the shortcut on a target machine after installation and select 'Open file location' option, which should open the folder of the actual exe, Windows open the folder where the shortcut is located. The 'Open target location' button in 'Properties' of the shortcut is disabled.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea why is it not linked properly, even though clicking on it launches the executable all OK?</p>
