I have a program that will set up 4 identical programs (exes) in 4 folders on a net work. Is there a way to set up a shortcut on the network directly from the program to the copies of the exes in their separate folders???
Harvey,
Can you just do that with the install program?
Regards,
James
James took your advice and programmed the install to do what I wank. Thanks.
Try:
cUser:= GetEnv( "USERPROFILE" )
I
f Left(cUser,8)="C:\Users" //Language of SO
cEscritorio:=cUser+"\desktop\file.lnk"
Else
cEscritorio:=cUser+"\escritorio\file.lnk"
Endif
COPY FILE C:\FILE.LNK TO (cEscritorio)
