Re: Shortcut on update
Hello,
Unfortunately this can not be done with the free version of Advanced Installer.
In order to achieve what you want, you can use our “Package Organization” feature which is available only in a “Professional” or higher project type. You can see the Advanced Installer Features by Edition list.
Also, you can take a look on our “Create Conditional Shortcut” thread which debates a similar issue.
If you need any help, please let us know.
Best regards,
Dan

Re: Shortcut on update
Ok i purchased the professional version.
Now i have moved the shortcut to and created a new shortcut feature. I moved shortcut to the feature and added condition !Client = 2 where client is main feature.
The shortcut is not created at all if condition exists otherwise created normally.
Where did i go wrong?

Re: Shortcut on update
Hello,
The condition !Client = 2 that you have used means ”Feature state: absent” which isn't what you need because in this case your shortcut will be created only if the feature "Client" is not already installed on the target machine.
You can set in the condition field something like NOT (OLDPRODUCTS AND (AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Repair")) .
Let us know if that helped otherwise give us more details about what you are trying to achieve.
