How do I create a desktop shortcut using a customized icon for a standalone executable?

I'm building a standalone windows application. I've built and packaged the program using the deploy tool. The package deploys to other machines with no issues as far as running the program.

However, when the program installs, I would like for a desktop shortcut to be created to access the standalone. Any ideas for creating the desktop shortcut for running the standalone? Any ideas for using a customized icon for the shortcut?

Thanks!

I'm not so sure you can create a desktop shortcut automatically upon extraction, however. You might need to use third-party packaging software to achieve that.
