Adding a Shortcut with Parameters
Hi all!
I have come across an application that needs a shortcut with a parameter (I haven't encountered this before). I am creating a Transform and currently use Adminstudio Tuner.
The format for the shortcut is:
app.exe "app.ini"
Any ideas how this can be done?
I have tried:
INSTALLDIR\app.exe "app.ini"
Many thanks,
Matt

as far as i know there is an entry called Arguments in making a shortcut using Adminstudio.
Have you tried doing that?
Target - app.exe
Argument - "app.ini"
Have you tried doing that?
Target - app.exe

Use a tool like Orca (or InstEd) to add the parameter in the tables, by filling the arguments field in the Shortcut table.

...but do that via a transform, as you should avoid directly editing vendor-supplied MSIs.

....and your 'Arguments' column in the 'Shortcut' table should probably either say:
"[INSTALLDIR]app.ini" (assuming your ini file is in the install directory)
or
"[#key_name_in_file_table]" (assuming your ini file is in the file table, that is)
"[INSTALLDIR]app.ini" (assuming your ini file is in the install directory)
or
"[#key_name_in_file_table]" (assuming your ini file is in the file table, that is)

Yes of course, you're right VBScab.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
