Hello, I have a kiosk type PC system, that on boot up, automatically logs on a special restricted user account with a preconfigured password. My application then launches automatically using a shortcut present in only that special users Startup folder. The installation scope is per machine as other users may need to run the application from time to time for diagnostic purposes. The application installation is always done using an admin account.
In the past using VS2010:- 1. The solution MS "Setup Project" installed all of the common features successfully. 2. I utilized the MS "Installer Class" which through some c# code created an application shortcut in the special user's startup folder during installation and removed it during uninstallation. With the demise of the above VS2010 features in later VS versions I have just over the last two weeks looked at WIX as an alternative. So far the WIX project will successfully install & uninstall the common features successfully, that is DLL, EXE files and some simple all user application shortcuts on the desktop and start menu. After searching for ages, I cannot determine how to set a startup shortcut in just the special user account. From my searches this does not appear to possible just using the basic WIX. I would really appreciate some directional guidance. Maybe a "C# custom action project" should be used? Or a batch file?
