Creating a custom shortcut

Hello,

I am writing a client install for a system that has already been installed on a server. I want to prompt the user for the location of the application (EXE) that is on the server. I am doing the above similar to the “How to browse for a folder at install time”. I am able to get the folder into a property, but I cannot create a shortcut from what has been entered to the path folder.

For example, what I want to do is create the shortcut with a shortcut target of:

[EXE_ON_SERVER]NameOfApp.EXE

Any ideas on how I can do this?

Thanks,

Dave

Oops! Found it! I should have been using an External File...
