Links to other apps in installer

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello all,

my workspace contains several projects, hence several executables, but only one shows up in the [Start] menu after installation.

 

In the [Edit installer][Files], I've added the various executables in the [Program Files][MyAppName] folder, and they are indeed installed.

But the [Start >> Programs][MyAppName] folder is empty. How come there's not even the one app I see ? And how tdo I add shortcut to the other executables ? Doing [Add File] seems to copy the full executable there.

 

It's not clear how that thing works.

Hi gdarguad, 

 

I would take a look at the article below: 

 

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A1B6D10E5F8FF490862571470075AFFF?OpenDocument

 

It offers steps for selecting where to install your executables with options for the Start menu as well as Program Files.  

 

Best wishes!

Sorry, that wasn't quite what I asked, but I found the solution: it's simply in the 'Shortcuts' tab. I just need to create one for each app I copy.
