Try this:

- copy the portable to "C:\Program files\zoomit"

- create shotcut on your desktop

- edit the permissions on the shortcut so EVERYONE is able to read the file.

- move both files to your repository folder

- create a new package with a file copy step

- add the path to the portable exe and the target directory "C:\Program files\zoomit"

- add a new file copy step

- now add the path to de *.lnk (shorcut file) and specify the "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" as target

test-deploy, but be sure to have appropriate rights and if everything is ok deploy

The other option would be to create a batch file which would copy the files to target locations and use it as a installer while adding the exe and the lnk files via "additional files" in the install step.
