Setup an deployment

[BoudewijnEctor]

Hi, I've posted a meesage like this about a month ago on this forum, but I didn't get any satisfacting responses; so I'll try again. I've created a setup prject, with the "Setup Projects" template, this is for an MFC C++ application. The installer works great, but I want to let the user determine wether he wants a shortcut placedn on his desktop\start menu. So I added a new dialog to my project, containing three checBoxes. But after having done this, I wanted to a some kind of 'link' between checking a checkbox and the creation of a shortcut. If already inserted the shortcuts in the FileSystem tab, but I don't know how to script the decision correctly (I know C and its derivates, not Basic!). I've already looked at the MSDN, but I can't find a nice answer!:mad: The properties of the checkbox are these: (in the user interface editor!) (I haven't included irrelevant properties (irrelevant to me)) CheckBox1Property : CHECKBOXC1 CheckBox1Value : Unchecked

Hi You do not have to script anything to do this. What You do is, create the shortut in the installation project as normal, and in the "Condition" property of the sourtcut write "CHECKBOXC1 = checked". That's it.

Thanks, I'll try it I didn't know it was that simple!

I jsut tried your solution, but it isn't working, although I entered the text (without the double quotation amrks in the conditions field). I tried it with a capitalized c in checked, and put transitive on true and false. No combination of it seemed to worrk --> the shortcut was created every time I tried the installer (it should only be created if the checkbox is checked).
