This article will discuss how to create a shortcut based on user input using a property value create a shortcut instead of creating by default.

This article explains how to create a shortcut based on user request. This information applies to the following InstallShield project types:

Create Basic MSI Project
Add a Feature and a Component which contains a shortcut
Select the newly added component and add a Condition CUSTOMCHECKBOX=1
If you have multiple shortcuts, create a new component and add condition like shown above.
Go to property Manager and create a property CUSTOMCHECKBOX and CUSTOMCHECKBOX1. Dont add a value yet. If we add value(1) the checkbox will be checked by default at runtime
Now go to Dialog view and create a dialog and name it (Example: Checkbox)
Add a checkbox control as per your shortcut added and add CUSTOMCHECKBOX and CUSTOMCHECKBOX1 in property field for each checkbox
Since we created a new dialog, we need to sequence it properly in order to see the dialog at runtime
Select the newly created dialog[checkbox] and select behaviour node and select Back button and change the value to "Customer Information"
Select NEXT button and change the Event DialogName to SetupType
Select License Agreement dialog and change the NEXT button to "Customer Information"
Select SetupType Dialog --> BACK Button change the dialog to Checkbox
Save the ism and build the project
Run the installer, At runtime on checkbox dialog select the checkbox
Based on select checkbox, specific shortcut will be created on desktop
