Create Shortcut at installation


Create Shortcut at installation Michael O'Shaughnessy

visual studio .net general:
I have run into a wall!!!!! All I want is to create a setup project that
gives the user the option of creating a shortcut on their desktop during
installation.
I have added a shortcut in the File system editor in the Desktop folder,
added a check box dialog, set the condition property of the desktop folder
to CHECKBOXA1, built the project, installed, leave the checkbox unchecked,
yet it still places a shortcut on the desktop.
I have tried several combinations with the condition property (i even set it
to "False"). It seems that the condition is not even being evaluated!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerley,
Michael
