Desktop short cut

[NewsArchive]

Using version 6.6.240

I have a script that creates a desktop short cut. I works fine on my
Vista machine but when I install on my Windows 2003 server it does not
create the desktop shortcut. I am logged in as administrator on the
server. Any idea why it does not create the short cut?

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

To be on the safe side, I have just tested this on two Windows 2003 Server
machines here and it works fine. It created the Desktop shortcuts without
any problem.

Perhaps you have unmarked the "Windows Server 2003 family" checkbox on the
Conditions tab?

Then I don't know, sorry. Not caused by SetupBuilder.

If you are interested, you can send your script to support (at) lindersoft
(dot) com and we'll test it on our 2003 machines.

G'day Tony

I think you may be seeing multiple administrator logons on the win2003 server.

I don't know if you have a domain setup for the network, but on a win2000 server that
I remote to I can logon as

administrator

or administrator.theserver.abc.xyz (or something like that)

and I will get two different sessions.

Check the \Documents and settings\ folder on the server
and you may see more than one "administrator" account

I don't have "Enable access for all windows users" checked. I think
that might be it. I will try that and if I am still stuck I will send
the script.

I don't think this causes the problem.

What you can do (just for fun) is, install SetupBuilder on that machine and
see if the it creates the Desktop shortcut. If yes, it's caused by your
script. If no, then I have no idea <g>.

Hi John,

Only one admin account but thanks for the reply. See my reply to

Tony,

In your script, you have this:

[ Interview User Interface ]
! Wizard dialog definition(s)
Set Variable %_SB_PARAM1% to "1"

Then later (to create the Desktop Shortcut).

! HL7 connection manager is an executable
If %_SB_PARAM1% Equals "2" Then
::Create Shortcut "PDS HL7 Engine Manager" to yada
End

As far as I can see, this does not install the Desktop Shortcut on any
machine <g>.

You set %_SB_PARAM1% to "1" and the shortcut should only be installed if it
is "2".

Does this help?
