How to link pdf's to show in Start Menu

Solved!
Go to solution

I need to build and installer for LV10 to put a project on a target machine.  I want the exe to show up under the all programs tab.  Not too hard yet, but I also want to list certain documentation files under the exe so the user can just as easily pull up the instructions or the like from there.  I don't seem to find anyway to do that directly within installer.

Never mind.  I was suffering from cranial rectumitus.  You simply go to the shortcuts section.

A few tips-

Typically I deploy to target and ship systems so I havn't tried all of this but....

The installer can be configured to run a application after installation (and I assume Open >>Acrobat has a active x or command line hook)

 

The build can also contain a vi starting with the keyword "About" where About vi is configured as a "splash screen"  See Darren's Nugget here

 

Edit: Thanks to autosave This was still on my profile when ut failed to post.

 

Or, you can target a shortcut if thats what you wanted in the first placeSmiley Very Happy

Thanks for the additional info.  As usual if you really want to do something in LV, you can normally find at least a couple of ways to do it.
