How to include help files when building installer

Hi!
 
How can I include my application help manual (in .pdf format) when building the installer such that the file goes into a designated folder and its link appears in the Start>Programs>App folder ?
 
Thanks,
Gurdas

Gurdas,

Add the .pdf as a support file in your executable
Create an installer for the executable
Under the "Files" button on the "Installer" tab select the .pdf and select "create program item".

This will place the .pdf in the start menu program group.

cheers,
Brett

Dear,

I have the same problem while using LV2013. I want to inlcude a pdf file in my LV program that I can read out when executing the program as exe file or installer. How can I inlcude a pdf file during the compilation or the making of the installer.

Regards

Daniel
