Feature Specific Shortcuts

Postby Troy » Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:39 am

Hi,

I am currently evaluating InstallAware 7 as a possible replacement for Wise for Windows Installer, and was wondering, is it possible to have a short cut created only if a specific feature is selected during the install?

Troy.

Sure, This is accomplish with the Get Component State command, a condition, and the Create Shortcut command. Here is an example:

Code: Select all

Get Component New Project Selection State into Variable SELECTED
  if Variable SELECTED Equals TRUE
    Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFILESALL$\\ to $TARGETDIR$Application.exe
  end
