Add icon to desktop

Post by Always Learning »

Hi There,

(Actuall Installer 3.4)

I am trying to create an installer for desktop icon to link to a web address.
I asked this question ages ago and all worked well. My problem now is that trying the installer on a Windows 7 PC I get an error that the installer cannot access <CommonFiles>

I do not need a program group etc I just need to create the desktop icon with a link to a website. How do I do that now I have windows 7.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Steve.

Go to the "System-Shortcuts" page, clik the "Add" button and type the following items:

Code: Select all

Target File: http://www.someaddress.com/
Shortcut Destination: <Desktop>
Icon File (optional): Click Browse button and select an icon file.
