Conditional Deployment of Shortcuts

How can I conditionally deploy shortcuts to my application? I have created a
custom installer dialog box to give my users the option of creating
desktop/start menu shortcuts, but the shortcuts do not have a Condition
property that allows conditional deployment. I have tried using the Condition
property of the folder where the shortcuts are being installed to, but the
shortcuts get installed whether the options are selected or not. I have read
on the Internet that it is possible to conditionally deploy the shortcuts (on
one of Microsoft's pages it says it can be done, but doesn't say how to do it
- on another Microsoft page it says, "There are several ways you can do this.
One is set a condition on the CreateShortcut action. This will turn on or off
all shortcuts creation. You can have a component that just contains the
shortcut and set a condition on this component. (The component condition
method would be the preferred method.)", but I don't know how to implement
this.

Any help would be appriciated...

I can't seem to get my head around the Visual Studio's Deployment Projects: I want the user, at install-time, to be able to specify if they want a icon placed on the desktop or not (I'm trying to use Checkboxes(A)). Seemingly you can just place the Checkbox1Property Name into the User's Desktop Condition but that does not work. I actually saw an article that highlighted this process as "the way to do it", so I downloaded the source and...

Hi, I created a C# deployment wizard to deploy my project. The project gets deployed correctly, all the files get copied to the correct folder etc. The only problem is that it does not create any desktop icons, or entries in the Start->Programs menu. There is no way to start the program that has been deployed! What am I doing wrong here? Any help appreciated.

I've written an application using VB.NET 2003 and packaged it with a deployment project. When I use the setup program to install the application, however, it doesn't work. More specifically, the shortcut placed in the Start Menu doesn't work. I've noticed that the shortcut is strange. Unlike a normal shortcut, I can't see the command it is supposed to issue. This makes it very difficult to debug the problem. Furthermore, I suspect that...

I've been distributing a fairly mature, very specific MS Access application to end users in small offices of colleges for several years now. This is a part-time venture and low volume operation- this is somewhat of a hobby for me. Many of my end users are computer phobic and get little support from their IT departments. It is a split database so the datafile gets put on the file server and the 3 different front ends get put on each local...

Hello, I'ld ask you all about deployment of python applications. Sometimes (if not most times..) I would make deployment easy (easier) for my customers (and for me too...) What I mean, would be very useful to have a "jar-like" archive/single file / multiple platform in order to deploy also complex applications with many modules.

Short version: IE7 and .NET Framework 2.0 breaks no touch deployment for .NET 1.1 applications. IE6 and .NET Framework 1.1 + 2.0 works fine. IE7 with .NET Framework 1.1 only is fine, once we add .NET Framework 2.0, no touch deployment does not work in a reliable manner. See following table. |.net 1.1 |.net 2.0(while keeping 1.1) -----------------------------------------------

Microsoft blows my mind sometimes, what the hell were they thinking? Oh, wait they weren't, that's right. Anyway, I've got a Setup and Deployment added to my project, and it does everything I want it to, with 1 exception. I have created the infamous fonts folder in order for it to install fonts, but it's only putting shortcuts to them in the fonts folder under the windows directory. Why is this? With only shortcuts to them, I can not use...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
