Hey Guys,
I've been tasked with creating some shortcuts to the desktop when our app
installs. Most of these shortcuts belong to our own app and its deployed
files but a couple belong to other executables that already exist on the
target system (such as Sharepoint Central Admin).
For the shortcuts I need to deply for our own app I think an unadvertised
shortcut is the way to go? I have the following code for one of my
shortcuts..
<Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop" />
<Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" Advertise="yes"
Name="Solution Manager" Icon="SolutionManager.exe">
<Icon Id="IntuitionSolutionManager.exe"
SourceFile="$(var.SolutionManagerRootFolder)SolutionManager.exe" />
</Shortcut>
I am confused however about creating shortcuts to apps that already exist on
the system. In particular I want to create a shortcut to the Sharepoint
Central Admin and place it on the desktop. The existing Sharepoint Central
Admin shortcut in start menu has the following target...
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\BIN\psconfigui.exe" -cmd showcentraladmin
How do I go about creating a shortcut for this on the desktop? Also how do I
pass it the arguments (-cmd showcentraladmin).
