Package (VS.2005) to include (a) shortcut on desktop, (b) uninstall, (c) WinUSB driver

[Bill Davy]

Can VS.2005 do these, and if so, how?

I can put the WinUSB files into a zip file and include that in the package
and tell the user to unzip it into folder X and then when XP wants a new
driver for the USB device, point it at folder X, but that seems a tad messy.

TIA,
Bill

Wrong newsgroup. This is nothing to do with VC IDE.

If you want to know how to package device drivers with apps,
please visit this link
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/app_drv.mspx
or this - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790308.aspx
or this - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/default.mspx

or ask in microsoft.public.development.device.drivers.

You're probably right, and the references are interesting, but something
along the lines of the following would have been useful and does seem to
involve the IDE quite heavily:

"Right click package
open View
open File System

Click to open "Application Folder"

Click to select "Primary out put from ..."
Right click and selct "Create Shortuct to Primary Outut to Primary
Output from ..."

Drag new shortcut to "User's Start Menu" and rename it."
