How to add command line arguments to shortcuts in the LV8.5.1 installer

[Rindert_Nauta]

I want to create multiple shortcuts to my LV program, each with different command line arguments.

I can do this manually.

I want the installer to generate these shortcuts.

I can add different shortcuts in de installer build specification, but I cannot add commandline arguments in the shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to do this?

You could have your application at first run do this for you. Create an ini-file parameter that gets deleted on first run.

You can add several *.bat files into your distribution. Each one will call your application with different arguments. So, you can put shortcuts to *bat files instead of executable. I haven't tried this, but it should work.

Hello Forum,

Does anyone have any better data for this?  I would also like to create an installer using Labview Project Explorer tool (Build Specification->Installer), and I have a need to create some shortcuts to some EXE's (VS.NET built, not LV) which need to have some arguments passed.  I just verified that LV8.6 still does not seem to offer the option of passing arguments when creating shortcuts.  Is this correct?   Creating stub EXE's or batch files isn't a good option for my project, so I'd like to have someone confirm if LV installer tool can't create shortcuts w/ arguments before I fire up InstallShield.

Regards!
