I've tried everything. How do you create a desktop folder named after the %ProductName%, then create shortcuts to files that are installed, and have those shortcuts contained in the created folder?
What version of Setup Factory are you using 5.0 or 6.0?
In 6.0 it is quite simple follow these basic steps:
1) Use a Create Directory actions to create the folder on the Desktop: Create Directory (%DeskTop%\%ProductName%)
2) Use Create Shortcut actions to create the shortcuts in that folder. Create Shortcut (%Desktop%\%ProductName% -> %AppDir%\MyFile.exe)
In Setup Factory 5.0 use the following Create Shortcut Command:
Action: Create Shortcut
Folder: %Desktop%\%ProductName%
Shortcut Description: My Program
Target File: %AppDir%\MyFile.exe
Windows NT/2000: Current user group
Command Line Arguments:
Icon Index: 0
Use external icon file: Unchecked
External Icon Path: N/A
Working Directory: %AppDir%
Run Mode: Normal
Both of these methods will work properly.
