Hi,

I am using Installshield 8 Developer.  I need to create a MSI package that installs a shortcut on a workstation.  This MSI is stored on a server and run from a workstation.  When it is run, it needs to create a shortcut on the workstation, that points back to an application on the server.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

The 2 options I use:

1.) Create a shortcut manually just how I want it and then put it in the install just like a regular file.

2.)Use a CA (custom action) and WSH to create the shortcut.
