I'm brand new to Setup Factory, and have a very basic question.

I've created my project, added my files, and clicked build. It all seems to work, and the Setup file successfully installs, but for some reason in the 'All Programs' list under my product, the exe name is blank. There is an icon, and clicking it launches the app, but the name is missing.

Please advise what field it is that I've omitted

p.s. The name successfully appears throughout the install process, and also appears on the Uninstall option, just not the app itself.

Many thanks

while in the design proccess, check -click the target app.exe
and review the shortcut creation setting-s for the file

Thanks for the suggestion, however this had no effect. I've checked all the settings I can find, and I'm still getting a blank name in the 'All Programs' list.

Does anyone have any additional suggestions?

Thanks

check the installation log file:
look for the shortcut creation entry (shortcut name.lnk),
may help in tracking it down.(depending on your log settings)

eg: Success Create shortcut: C:\Documents and Settings\Guess Who\Desktop\Setup Factory 7.0.lnk

still seems like a shortcut setting or perhaps a sessionvariable issue.

Doh, I see what I've done - you're right, it was a shortcut... :o

Thanks for the help
