Change the name of a shortcut depending on property

How can I set the name of a shortcut.
I want to name it depending of a property
F.e. Property: MYNAME=NewNameShortCut
Name of the shortcut: [ProductName][MYNAME]
This will result in a name of the product concatenated with the value of property MYNAME

Re: Change the name of a shortcut depending on property

Hi and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

I'm afraid that the name of a file/shortcut cannot be changed during the installation. It can be changed only at build time. To change it at build-time, you can write those properties in the "Name" field of the shortcut like this: [|ProductName][|MYNAME]

If you want to change the name of a shortcut during the installation, you can create a custom action that will change the name of the shortcut after it was created on the machine.
