Published ClickOnce application not appearing in Start menu


I have a ClickOnce application that does not appear listed in the Start menu when published (and installed). According to the documentation, one can enter info in Publisher name or Product name. I have both filled in, yet I see nothing in the Start menu.

What can I do?

(Windows 10)


Solution

  • In the Publish Wizard, one is asked:
    Will the application be available offline?

    Select Yes and a shortcut will be added to Start Menu.

    This changes Shell.csproj like so:

    <PropertyGroup>
        <Install>true</Install>
