That one's pretty easy...
In the setup project, edit the frmSetup1 Load Event. Search for the comment line:
' Create program icons (or links, i.e. shortcuts).
Right after that line, put the following code:
OSfCreateShellLink "..\..\Desktop", _
"Shortcut to MyApp", _
gsDest.strAppDir & "MyApp.EXE", Chr$(0)
Replace the occurrences of MyApp with your actual exe name.
(don't forget to bump up the points before you accept this answer... ;-)

Here is what I did..copy and paste your line of code...project name: Birthdays
Project exe: Birthdays.exe
Result: No Icon Appears On Desktop
Also...I got no mention of dcom95 but maybe that is because I am running 98 on my system..
