Create shortcut on mapped network share
Hi,
I want to create a simple msi with only a shortcut. This shortcut is S:\, but when the gpo installs the msi, there's an error (in the log) that says S: is an invalid drive... Normal since the login script hasn't executed itself, no user is logged.
Is there a way to desactivate the verification or any other way that would let me create a shortcut to S: ? I tried to delete all entry with orca in the validation table, but it still doesn't work. I use WinInstall LE to create my msis,
Thanks,
Alexandre.

Create the shortcut as you want it (on the client) and then add the shortcut file (.lnk) to the package (File table).

I have not used WInstall LE before but perhaps the logic would be.
Create a URL file which points to the S:\ drive. Place this URL in ProgramFiles\AppName
Create a shortcut with following attributes:-
Shortcut Name : As you wish
Target Dir : ProgramFiles\AppName\filename.URL
Icon : As you wish
This way you can also advertise your shortcut.
