Desktop shortcut and the startmenu shortcuts will not update
Hi all,
I have a problem with the InstallShield Multiplatform.
I used the InstallShield Multiplatform and created an installer. This works fine if I install the product afresh on any computer. But, the problem arises if I upgrade the Previous version of my product to the current version. I have a desktop shortcut that points to a .bat file in my previous version and the same shortcut should now point to a .exe file.
I tried doing that in couple of ways.. But, unfortunately failed to get it work ....
Is there any way to do that ?????
any help is much appreciated... 🙂

Were you able to find a solution to this problem?

If nothing else, perhaps a custom bean that calls the removeDesktopItem and addDesktopItem methods from DesktopService?
