Pkg Deployment Wizard - create desktop shortcut?

[msc0tt]

I'm using the Packaging and Deployment Wizard to deploy my app. I would like the setup to NOT create a startup item in the StartMenu, but rather a desktop shortcut. Possible?

Hey - yep u can get setup not to create a startup item in the start menu for your application. Once you have packaged ur application up it creates a file called SETUP.LST. Open this file and scroll down to the heading [IconGroups]. If you get rid of the few lines after this heading - save + close the file + it will not create the menu item in the start menu when u install ur app. As 4 creating a shortcut item mmm... not sure about that one Im assuming u might b able 2 do it through the same file - SETUP.LST - not sure how though. GOODLUCK

Yes, you will have to modify the setup program. It is a project in your install directory.

Good Luck
