Is it possible to add a link to an exe in Visual Studio project using add existing item?

I tried and it doesn't work. Did I misc开发者_StackOverflowhief something or is it impossible ?

Yes it is possible.

• Choose Add -> Existing Item...
• You will probably need to change the file filter in the file browser to "All files (*.*)" to make the .exe files show.
• Single click the exe file you want to add a link to.
• Click the down arrow next to the add button and choose "Add As Link".

The exe should now appear in your project as a linked item.

It is an odd thing to do though, so I question the merit in doing it.
