The purpose is
when the checkbox for "create short cut" is checked,the shortcut should be created at the end of installation.
when the checkbox for "include in Startup Folder" is checked,the exe should be included in Startup Folder at the end of installation.
Now for this purpose I am doing as follows:
creating two features:
----------------------
ShortCut InstallLevel = 1 Required = No
StartUp InstallLevel = 1 Required = No
Creating Corresponding components:
-----------------------------------
ShortcutOnDesktop : Under shortcut Heading, creating shortcut of exe for feature "ShortCut"
IncludeInStartUp : Under shortcut Heading, creating shortcut of exe for feature "StartUp"
Now, for checkbox of Shortcut:
------------------------------
Property : ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP
Value : 1
PropertyIsInteger : true
On "Next" Button, events are added as follows:
----------------------------------------------
ADDLOCAL | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP="1"
REMOVE | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP="0"
for checkbox of including in Startup folder:
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Property : ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP
Value : 1
PropertyIsInteger : true
On "Next" Button, events are added as follows:
----------------------------------------------
ADDLOCAL | StartUp | INCLUDEINSTARTUPFOLDER="1"
REMOVE | StartUp | INCLUDEINSTARTUPFOLDER="0"
In property manager view,
-------------------------
ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP 0
INCLUDEINSTARTUPFOLDER 0
OUTPUT:
The result is when the checkbox is not checked then the exe is found at both places i.e. desktop and startup.[WRONG]
when the checkbox is checked for ShortCut
then the exe is not found at desktop.[WRONG]
when the checkbox is checked for ShortCut
then the exe is found at desktop.[RIGHT]
Kindly let me know where I am wrong ??

Let's look at what you have and where the problems might be:
| QUOTE |
| ShortCut InstallLevel = 1 Required = No StartUp InstallLevel = 1 Required = No |
So both features are selected by default. No real prpblem here, but if your
want the properties default to not create these shortcuts then I would make
the features unselected by default.
| QUOTE |
| On "Next" Button, events are added as follows: ---------------------------------------------- ADDLOCAL | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP="1" REMOVE | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP="0" |
Problems:
Those control events are called AddLocal and Remove (case sensitive).
When a check box is unchecked then the associated property is undefined
(empty), not 0.
So you better change this to:
AddLocal | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP="1"
Remove | ShortCut | ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP<>="1"
Same for the other check box.
| QUOTE |
| In property manager view, ------------------------- ADDSHORTCUTTODESKTOP 0 INCLUDEINSTARTUPFOLDER 0 |
Don't define them in property manager. Thus the check box will be unchecked
by default.

| OUTPUT: The result is when the checkbox is not checked then the exe is found at both places i.e. desktop and startup.[WRONG] |
That's because the wrong condition on the Remove events.
| QUOTE |
| when the checkbox is checked for ShortCut then the exe is not found at desktop.[WRONG] when the checkbox is checked for ShortCut then the exe is found at desktop.[RIGHT] |
That's a contradiction. What did you really mean to say?
