Unable to create desktop shortcut icon when application is deployed via sccm
Hi, I am trying to deploy application via sccm. The app build is done using PS toolkit. The issue that I am facing is the application that I deployed via sccm failed to create desktop shortcut. If I run the application manually it does create desktop shortcut icon.
Command that I user is as below in PS toolkit.
Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "$dirFiles\NielsenAnswers.msi" -Parameters "/quiet"
Please Help.

I'll bet that shortcut *is* created but in the System user's profile.
If so, as a first step, pass 'ALLUSERS=1' on the command line. If that fails, create a transform and use it to change the shortcut's installation folder location.
Also, always, always, ALWAYS use a log when deploying anything. Otherwise, how are you going to diagnose any issues?

Thank you for your suggestion. Can you also suggest me creating transform or how to create .mst file for transform. I am considering using Orca to create mst. I am new to PS and tools. Appreciate your help! - Khogen 6 years ago
