Installing custom programs

Question

I created my application. Whenever I install a new program, the program asks me where I would like to store the files for the program. It creates a folder on my computer with the files for the program.  I want to create the folder for it and have the program start at start up. How do I do this? I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express edition.

Answer 1

The only deployment option in Express is Click Once deployment.

You start the process by selecting the Publish option in your Build menu.
