Command line options for shortcuts

[mcseforsale]

Are there command line switches that can be used during a silent installation that control the creation of shortcuts?

Thanks!

Hello AJ, Curt,

There aren't any command line parameters which you can use to install your shortcuts.

However, what you can do is create the shortcut in your project as "Shortcut to external file". By doing so, a component will be created in the "Organization" page - component which you can further condition based on a property, e.g.:

Code: Select all

INSTALL_SHORTCUT="True"

Note: to specifically view the component created for your shortcut, you can right click on the component --> "Go to Component"

Your users will then be able to install the MSI as it follows:

Code: Select all

msiexec /i <path_to_msi> INSTALL_SHORTCUT="True"

and the shortcut will be installed. Otherwise, it will not.

How to create a shortcut only if a specific feature is installed?

Conditionally create shortcut based on the user selection

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
