Conditionally creating a shortcut

[hsc]

Hi,

there are lots of articles about how to create a desktop shortcut to the installed application, and this works fine. However, how do I make the creation of the shortcut depend on the user's decision?

I added a checkbox with label "Create desktop icon" to the VerifyReadyDlg and linked it to the CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON property. How do I define the condition for the shortcut?

I saw hints that made me assume I must move the shortcut to a separate new component. When I right-click the shortcut in the Organization page, "Move to New Component" is disabled (grey).

What now?

Thanks, Hans
