CVI 8 Installer - refreshing "Destination Directory" list for shortcuts?

[Ian.W]

In CVI 8.0 while editing an installer (i.e. Build>Distributions>Edit), how can I refresh the list of possible "Destination Directories" on the Shortcuts tab?

Right now I have  choice that is [Start>>Programs]\oldname, where oldname is a previous name that I presume came from the previous "Application Title" target settings for the project.  I've checked that "oldname" no longer appears in any target settings.  Is there a neat way to get [Start>>Programs]\newname as a choice?  Or do I need to edit the CDS file?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

The shortucut destination directory choices come from the directories specified in the Files tab.  The only relation to the target settings "Application Title" is that the directory names default to this value.  If you want to change the name of the directory the shortcut is installed to, just rename that directory on the Files tab (in the "Installation Files & Directories" section).

 Thanks Mert. Problem solved.

For a moment there my reaction was "but I'm talking about the Start Menu ..", but I now realize that right-clicking in that "Installation Files and Directories" section and selecting "All Installation Locations", I can specify folders within the Start Menu too.

It is a directory, after all. 😉
