External Shortcut

Hi,

I am trying to create an external shortcut and it doesn't appear (I tried the other kinds and no problem).

I did with wizard, without wizard....

I put in shortcut target: C:\oracle\BIN\IFRUN60.EXE then I added arguments, removed arguments, added "" and no shortcut appears.

There is something I must be doing wrong, but I can recognise what.

Thank You and sorry for my poor english,
Lucia :)

Re: External Shortcut

Hi,

Please note that shortcuts to external files need to use a formatted value for their target path. For your project, you can try this approach:
- in the "Install Parameters" page create a custom property
- name it to something meaningful, for example "IFRUN60_PATH"
- set its value to:

Code: Select all

C:\oracle\BIN\IFRUN60.EXE
- use the custom property in the shortcut target instead of the hard-coded path
