6.1.8 Configure Shortcuts

You can change the attributes associated with the pre-defined Reflection shortcuts. Also, you can configure shortcuts associated with files you've added to a custom install package.

NOTE:This method of chaining installations applies only to installs performed with setup.exe. It does not apply to installs that use the MSI command-line method.

To configure shortcuts

  1. On a workstation on which you have installed Reflection, open the Installation Customization Tool from a desktop shortcut (if you set up a shortcut as shown on page 11) or from a command line as follows:

    path_to_setup\setup.exe /admin

  2. From the Select Customization dialog box, do one of the following:

    • Select Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.

    • Select Open an existing Setup customization file or Companion installer and select an .mst file.

  3. From the Installation Customization Tool navigation pane, choose Configure shortcuts.

  4. Select the shortcut that you want to configure, and then click Modify.

  5. In the Modify Shortcut dialog box, in the Location list, enter or select the folder where you want the shortcut to reside.

    NOTE:List items that refer to folders (for example, [ProgramMenuFolder]) are pre-defined folder keywords. You can create customized directories by adding new folder names with typical directory syntax (such as, [ProgramFilesFolder]\My Folder). Alternatively, you can enter a fully qualified path (for example, C:\Program Files\My Folder), as long as that location is known to exist on the target machine.

  6. Enter a descriptive name and tooltip for the shortcut.

  7. Enter the command-line arguments for the shortcut in the Arguments window.
