This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
What I do is create a new project and place in it the PRG that I have created
to copy the shortcuts and icons to the proper WINDOWS directories. I then
compile it into an EXE. In Step 4 of the SETUP Wizard you place the name of the
EXE you want to run after installation and it will run.
