Are there any SMS Installer experts out there?
I run WinNT 4.0 workstations. When I run an installer package, while logged on as an admin user, I get a shortcut on the desktop (in "all users"). When I'm logged in as a normal user I don't get a shortcut, as our restrictions don't allow users to see "all users" folder. What I would like to do is add a line in the installer script that copies a shortcut to %userprofile%\desktop. The problem is that I can't seem to access nt environment variables from within sms installer.
Any ideas?
 
While in Script Editor on SMS Installer. You will see a section.

IF System Has Windows95 Shell Interface Start Block
At the end of this section add a like this

Create Shortcut from "Directory Structure\Filename.exe" to %CDESKTOPDIR%\FileName.LNK



 
Has anyone out there installed Service Release 1a for Office 2000 using SMS Installer?
