Hello.

I have developed an C# application, will be resided on system tray and made a msi installer for it. But, after installation by msi, it has been installed in program files, there is no icon available in system tray automatically. If I run the exe from installed folder, then it will come in system tray, but after restart the PC, I have run the exe file manually again to keep it on system tray. but I want to keep it in windows system tray allways from the msi installation.

What changes and where I have to made to make this, please?

You may find the answers to these posts in another forum useful... bear in mind that much will depend on which version of VS your're using and potentially which version of Windows you're targetting.
