Hi

 

In a script I am playing with I am copying a file to the system32 folder of PE using:-

ExtractAllFiles,"%ScriptFile%","DISM","%target_sys%"

This works fine, but how can I then get a startmenu/desktop shortcut for it, everything I try using Add_Shortcut doesn't seem to work - it only works if my exe is in Programs dir, but then my exe doesn't work as it looks for files in system32 folder

 

Any thoughts please?

update: after trying lots of things, think I finally got it working

 

Please comment if I am not doing this in correct way:-

Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Imaging,"%systemroot%\system32\%programEXE%"

you can look at my ShutdownPE script (which is included in most projects) and see how I do this. :)

 

Edit: Yep. you got it!

 

A hint for anyone else stumbling upon this topic %systemroot% is a Windows environment variable that always points to the Windows directory NOT a winbuilder/script variable.
