Include an internet link/url in the $SHORTCUTFOLDER$

[BobRoush]

How can I include a internet shortcut/link/url in the Start Menu shortcut folder?

[MichaelNesmith]

No different than creating any other shortcut - just type in the full URL of the desired Internet resource, instead of a program name.

[Garrido]

I just can´t create them. Please, look:



Note: The Ok button is not enabled.

Dear Garrido,

add it in your MSI script instead of using the IDE shortcut dialog.

example:

Code: Select all

Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFOLDER$\My web link to http://www.google.it/

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Create Shortcut~
~{3C66DF0C-9583-4617-B171-202DF7C61E58}~
~http://www.google.it/~
~My web link~
~$SHORTCUTFOLDER$~
~My web link description~
~~
~~
~|FALSE~
~|~
~0|~

Where can I find the MSI file? In my disk I only can see the .MIA file.

Garrido, what I think Francesco is suggesting is that you add his code example into your MSIcode tab in the IDE. Position the cursor at a line where you want to insert the statement.

I assume that you are using the Studio Admin version of IA?

[FrancescoT]

In fact, I meant this.

To be more precise, the MSI scripting feature is available with InstallAware Developer, Studio and Studio Admin editions.
