For now, Advanced Installer can only install files. But the next version will have support for Shortcuts too. We're working on it as we speak.

Any other feature you would be interested in?

Philip - superb product - nothing beats free, and you put InstallShield to shame already for the simple logical design of your program.

I would like to see the Shortcut feature too - and with a user option to put a shortcut in the Startup folder. If this could be a default checkbox type option in your Install Parameters, all the better.

Thank you,
Michael

Thanks Michael,

Shortcuts are implemented and working in 0.5. You can create one from the toolbar or by using the right click context menu on a file in the Files and Folders view.

Shortcuts appear to be disabled in the Startup folder

I see how to create a shortcut that goes automatically into the Application Shortcut Folder. But how do you get a shortcut from there into the Startup folder? The Shortcut button and right-click commands are disabled except in the Application Folder.
BTW, I don't understand the distinction between the Application Shortcut Folder and the Start Menu/Programs folder.
