.lnk files (shortcuts)
I am using Installshield (i think its 3.x as is on diff comp and too lazy to check :) ) and it allows u to create shortcuts that appear on the desktop and program menu.
This is all well and good except that:
1. the created lnk file should normally allow the user to edit the target, shortcut key, icon etc if they rightclick on the desktop icon, select properties and select the shortcut tab.
2. the version created thru installshield disables (greys) all entries and command buttons on the shortcut tab of the properties form as per the example pic.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it 'within' Installshield? As far as i can see IS doesnt give u access to the scripts .. so i dunno if can be fixed there. :eek:
Thanks

Upgrade installshield!!! For heaven's sake IS has released version 9! You're still using version 3.x?
Your version of InstallShield is so old, it probably doesn't even recognize the operating system you're deploying to because it wasn't invented yet!

oops I shoulda mentioned that it is IS Express and they are only up to 4. IS has diff numbering schemes for their Express, developer etc and i think they are up to 8 on developer.
assuming that my chisel and stone are not the problem, anyone have any other ideas?
