Shortcut for ALL USERS

[kallumama]

When i created my setup file it only creates a shortcut for the admin installing the app. But when the real user logs in he does not see the shortcut, how can I ensure that ALL USERS can see the shortcut.

Thanks,

check the settings you are using for the shortcuts folder screen,
from memory only though , if installed by an Admin account,
if select-enable 'all users' option, will only add shortcuts to admin accounts.

Adam's reply, as usual, explains things more clearly than I do !

Are you showing the screen named: "Select Shortcut Folder"? If not then you may want to because this has a button on it to make the shortcuts for "all users" or "per user". There is also a variable that you can set that should work:

_UsePerUserFolders

Hope this helps

I am showing ""Select Shortcut Folder"...but i also have a version of this install in silent mode. It was going to be pushed by IT via SMS to all users. So i wanted the shortcut and start menu icon created for all users...

Adam,

I tried _UsePerUserFolders = False

It made the shortcut in the ALL USER folder...that worked great!!

But the start menu folder was created in my folder rather than ALL USERS, how can i fix that?
