Call Executable Step with Windows Shortcut/.lnk file

[cjohnson963]

Is it possible to call a Windows shortcut from TestStand? 

I have a shortcut in the same location on different systems, but with different command line options specific to the system so I need to run the application from the shortcut. I tried using a call executable step, but whenever I try to use a shortcut/.lnk file, it adds the executable that the shortcut points to instead.

Hi cjohnson963,

One option would be to use a batch file instead of that shortcut. You can use a Call Executable step on that .bat file which includes your options and it should execute as you are expecting.

Thanks,
