Prompt user to create shortcuts

[isherman]

Is there a way to prompt the user to create shortcuts on the desktop/start menu?  I can do it automatically, but I'd like the user to choose.

Hi Isherman,

1.Create Custom Dialog to get user input (Shortcut on Desktop or Start Menu).

2.Create  InstallScript custom action to create shortcut based on user selection.

OK, but I'm going to need some help with Step 1.  I can create a dialog (CustomShortcut) and populate it with controls.  How do I insert it where I want it in the install sequence? I want it to be after CustomSetup and before ReadyToInstall.  It seems the only place I can insert it  is in SetupInitialization using the wizard.  When I look at the documentation, it says I can simply drag and drop, but that only seems to work at the root level of the tree- ie., I can drag SetupInitialization around, but not CustomShortcut, which is no good- I need SetupInitialization where it is, but I don't want the CustomShortcut to fire immediately after.  Thanks!
