Hello Guys,

i have problems with the icon file path in my shortcuts for batch files.

My targetdir variable is not targetdir, it is $TARGETDIRCLIENT$ and $TARGETDIRSERVER$.

The icon is blank/empty wenn I use the path to the ico file:

"$TARGETDIRCLIENT$\bin\delta_32x32.ico"

i am using native_engine

What can I do?

Dear MikKummerfeld,

I just tried to verify what your reported, but honestly, I don't see any problem with the assigned shortcut icon.

I used a Native Engine IA X5 project, installed the icon file to the TARGETDIR and then assigned it to the "Icon File" parameter of the "Create Shortcut" command.

For the icon file I used a multiformat icon file and which includes all the different image formats from, 16x16 to 256x256.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

Hi Francesco,

I install the .ico file in the TARGETDIRCLIENT path and after that I use "$TARGETDIRCLIENT$\shortcut.ico" but it does not work :(
The ico file is available in the destination folder but the Shortcut has a White blank icon :(

I cant understand...

Dear Heiko,

as I said previous previously, are you sure about the correct format of your icon file?

Regards
