How do I get Icons onto the desktop during installation?

When using application builder to create an installable copy of my Labview software, I want to place an icon directly on the desktop.  Can this be easily done?
Failing that does one need something like Installshield for labview to get such features?

At the moment there are no features included in the installer that would create a shortcut of the application on the desktop. You would need to do this manually or create some code that programmatically does this. It is possible to set up the installer to run code on completion, maybe you could add the functionality into here?!

I've carried out a quick search and came across a thread that recommends the use of 3rd party tools:

I haven't tried this myself so I don't know how good it is, hope this helps!
