Create shortcut on desktop

[tosch]

In out app we can run any updates using a different account (which has admin privileges).

When I create a shortcut on the desktop will the shortcut be on the users desktop or on the desktop of the user running the update?

Dear Thomas,

That really depends on where you create the shortcut - if you create it in \Users\{USERNAME}\Desktop that it will be in that user's desktop..

The shortcut is created like this:

Create Shortcut $DESKTOPDIR$\MyAppname to $TARGETDIR$\MyAppname.exe

so I guess this is on the desktop of the user running the setup, in my case the admin account.
