Concerning shortcut in distribution kit creation

[CFr]

I create my distribution kit and for the application EXE file, I choose Create Shortcuts\ Start program (+Sub-Folder).
When I install the setup, the shortcut is created correctly in the start menu but the name of the short cut in the folder equal the name of my application minus the extension. And I would like to have another name for the shortcut. Where can I change this?
Thanks for your answer.
Carine.

I have found the application builder un-helpful when it comes to changing shortcut options.

Try:
http://www.msipackager.com/

This allows you to edit the final distribution package, including many shortcut options.

I hope this helps - it did for me!

Hi,

This change should not be hard to implement, you can use Microsoft's free Orca software to edit the msi file and change the name of that shortcut.

You can get this application with the Windows SDK donwload for free. It is a msi database editor where you should be able to see the "Shortcut" table; there you should see the information for the shortcut that is being created; includog the name of the shortcut.

I hope this helps.
