Hello. Sorry for my English - I'm from Eastern Europe 🙂 I have Express version of InstallShield and want to create simple project for my program. I want to do "tricky" thing: for each my feature (in my msi project) I want to create specific shortcut to my program (with a particular argument). For example: - If user select "Feature 1" I want to create shortcut with argument "Feature 1"; - If select "Feature 2" - shortcut with argument "Feature 2" etc. As I understand it is possible with VBScript: get feature name which currently selected and change property of shortcut. But I can't found how to get feature name (enumerate Session.FeatureRequestState ??) and how to set specified shortcut property (argument). I hope somebody in this forum can help me. Thank you in advance!
Why not create the shortcuts under each feature, or is the issue that the same component is installed under each feature and you need a unique name for the shortcut even if it points to the same file?
I think you can accomplish what you want without having to create a custom VBScript action to modify the shortcut name.

I need a unique name for the each shortcut for each feature but the target is the one file. I have "feature1", "feature2", "feature3" , and I have myprog.exe. I need shortcut to myprog.exe with argument "feature1" or "feature2" or "feature3" according selected feature. I tried to copy myprog.exe to each feature in the tab "Files and Features" (and delete/no-delete from Allways Install) and create shortcut for each feature. But shortcuts had only one feature - first feature where I copied myprog.exe. 😞
