Creating shortcut to a file upon installation

I want to create a set up program that could install all the files and create a shortcut to that file on the desktop....plz tell me how to do it irrespective of the platform used

I need to do the same thing as you did. Did you get your problem resolved? For me, it is a general quesion which is how to create a shortcut to a file in Java.
As to put it on desktop seems is easy, which is set it to c:\windows\Desktop.

API to create shortcut to a file

Hello,
I am new to java. I am looking for a native API in java
to create in a directory a shortcut to an existing file.
Thanks in advance.

Hi OlivierYolene,
Standard java does not contain the ability to create shortcut's because the file is specific it Microsucks Windoze. You would have to create a ShortcutFile class and put a method in it like "createShortcut(File directory)" This would intern call a native method "public native void create(String directoryName)". Now you have to create the DLL file that this class will link to. The C code will implement the "create" method and call a Windoze API method for creating the shortcut.
Refer to the documentation that comes with the Java Documentation for more information about creating a native library.
Hope this helps,
Bud

How do I modify the file right-click context menu to add "creat shortcut"?

I have just chosen Mozilla as my browser and want to add shortcuts to files by using the right-click context menu, but there is no "create shortcut" choice displayed.

Could you describe where you're clicking, exactly? Are you clicking on a web page, or clicking a link on a web page? If you are using Firefox to browse files on your hard drive, you're probably better off using Windows Explorer to do that since Firefox doesn't have all the functions of Windows.

Creating a pre-configured SQL instance installation file

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pre-configured SQL instance installation file?
I want to pre-configure authentication mode, sa password, collation etc so that users will just need to run the .exe and everything will be done for them. At the moment users need to run a batch file that contains the unattended installation script, but
that is proving to be too much for some...

Hi RRozanski,
To meet your own requirement, you can firstly change the ConfigurationFile.ini file which is generated by SQL Server setup wizard. Then users can install SQL Server with the new ConfigurationFile.ini file via installer wizard as follows.
Go to SQL Server Installation Center and click on the Advanced page. Click on Install based on configuration file, specify the location of the ConfigurationFile.ini file and the SQL Server setup.exe location. You can find setup.exe at the root level of the
SQL Server installation media.
Like a normal installation you can see all the screens with the prefilled information and this gives you the advantage to review or make changes if needed.
For more details, please review below blog.

Create shortcut and run BI Frontend tools without Backend installation

I have new machine, I want to install BI 7.0 frontend only. Is it possible to run BI frontend (Bex Analyser, WAD, Web Analyser) without installing Backend. Using start menu, I am trying to create shortcut for BI front end tools on the desktop. which is asking for system information. but it doesn't give any popup for to enter system information. Where and How to enter system information ?

I am not sure if i get your qustion properly,when you say Back end ,you mean BW system??
You need BW system some where on this planet for your front end to work,its not imperative to have BW box on to your desktop.
Front end-Bex talks to BW and for that BW needs to be installed somewhere ,you can connect to BW box from anywhere with front end using local network where the BW system is installed or remote access or portal.
Hope it Helps

Thunderbird install hangs at Create Shortcut stage on 64-bit Win 8.1

I am trying to install Thunderbird on a brand-new HP Envy laptop. The progress bar is stuck at "Create Shortcut [folder location]". I have rebooted and re-downloaded the installation executable file. No luck. It still hangs at the same point.

I am guessing. But it sounds like a uac issue with Windows. Try doing the install with administrator privileges.

PSE7 Missing exe.file after installation

Hi,
I purchased PSE7 from Adobe store this afternoonn. After download of PSE7_WIN_DE.exe and extracting into the desktop installation folder - installation of PSE started and finished. But - there is no exe file to start PSE, not even in the program folder and the new created shortcuts by the installer are empty (by showing the windows root exe symbol, not the PSE). I have removed and installed it for serveral times now, always with the same effect - no exe. file. Can someone help me out?
Thanks

If you have not done so already, turn off your security software and try installing again. Else, you can call Adobe for assistance. They will not charge for the support since you have an installation problem with the current version of PSE.

How to create a custom ear file and deploy it onto a freshly created oc4j

Hi,
Wanted to know that how should i go about creating a custom EAR file or for that matter any application and deploy it onto a test oc4j instance created within the 10.1.3 Home of Oracle Apps R12.
I believe in a standalone Application server installation it is quite simple to deploy an application by creating an oc4j instance using the AS console ,but not very sure about how to go about it in Oracle Apps .
N.B:I have been able to create a test oc4j instance by the name of Test and able to start and stop it using the opmn of 10.1.3 oracle home.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi,
can you please post this question to one of the Apps forums if your main concern is to deploy applications in the context of Oracle Apps?
It seems that you don't have a problem in creating the EAR file in JDev.

Could not create shortcut Manage Virtual Networks.lnk during VM Server 2 install. Why?

I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on my HP Laptop running Windows 8 Pro as Host. But I am getting the following warning messages but the install continues to completion:
Warning Msg:
Warning 1909. Could not create shortcut Manage Virtual Networks.lnk. Verify that the destination folder exist and that you can access it.
Warning 1909. Could not create shortcut Server Home Page.lnk. Verify that the destination folder exist and that you can access it.
After installation, I am not able to login to the VM Server. When I click on the VMware Sever login icon, the error that I am getting states: okonita1:8333 -
Oops! Page Not Found
Sorry, the page you were looking for could not be found.
I am at a loss how to correct this error. I have googled, read and followed a lot of the online help that I can find including taking ownership of suspect target folders such as ProgramData, all to no avail.
At this point, I am hoping someone does know what specifically can help resolve my issue and I am asking for help. VMware knowledge base or support are not helpful.
Thanks all,
Enyi

Did you run the VMServer setup *as Administrator*?
Did you have IIS installed on your system before you installed VMServer?

How to create keyboard for Load Files into Photoshop

does anyone know if there is a way to create or is there an existing keyboard shortcut to Load Files into Photoshop from Bridge?

I should have been more specifc.
Much like in bridge-tools-photoshop-load files into photoshop, I want to load multiple files into a layered photoshop document.
Can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for this action. Though I don't know how to write scripts very well but there are far too many keyboard shortcut posts I've searched and can't seem to find a way.
thanks

How to create shortcut of Form6i's (.fmx) without refering TMSNAMES.ORA

I created shortcut as
c:\dev6i\bin\ifrun60 c:\forms\Tax.fmx tax/tax@ourdb
where outdb is a string made in TNSNAMES.ORA:

OURDB = 
(DESCRIPTION = 
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 121.100.100.7)(PORT = 1521)) 
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = OUR_DB))

But I want to make the shorcut without referencing TNSNAMES.ORA file. I want it like: 
c:\dev6i\bin\ifrun60 c:\forms\Tax.fmx tax/[email protected]:1521:our_db

It's a slash, not a colon.
tax/[email protected]:1521/our_db
This might only work with Oracle client 10.1 or higher.

Create image of Pro Logic 9 installer disc

Have been getting an 'Installation failed' message when trying to install Logic Pro 9 in my Mac Pro 1.1. As it may be the installer disc that's damaged I've tried to create a new image from the installer DVD using Mac's Disc Utility but so far have been denied permission. The 'Sharing & Permissions' section in the 'get info' window is greyed out even though it is unlocked and I've selected 'read only' in new image prompt. Anything else I can try? Thanks for any input!

Thanks for the link... learned a few things I hadn't been aware of.
I still don't know why I was having the permission problems but as it turned out, it was a faulty Installer disc. I thought I'd try using Carbon Copy Cloner to create an image but it flagged up a fault in one sector of the disc - including the file name so I'll need to get a replacement disc as you suggested.
As an aside... I read quite a few posts on failed Logic installation attempts and what the problem might be but the CCC workaround quickly confirmed what the problem was in my case... a useful tool to elliminate where the problem was.
Thanks for your suggestions

Keep directory structure for extra files after installation

I'm working on an AIR project in Flash CS5 that has some additional support files in a folder called "data". In my publish setting, I included this folder. When I run a test install of the AIR file, I no longer have a "data" folder in my installation directory. How can I have the installer create this folder so I can access the support files?
BTW, I'm on a Mac and only see the .app file after installation. The support files will hold application preferences that need to be read and written to.

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce the prodblem. To reproduce I added a folder called testFiles in the AIR Settings Window(In Included Files Section) shown below. And I got the same in Program Files when i installed the app.
Am i doing anything different than you? BTW I am testing on Windows for now.
