Ms office multiple triggers

Question

Anybody have step by step on how to get Ms office 2010 to work so you can launch the individual apps, word,excel,pwrpoint?????
I understand you need to use multiple trigger points but not sure how you would launch them and have icons like the non virt app

Answer 1

If you want separate icons, you may need to snapshot the applications individually. I could only ever find a single place to put an icon.
If you specify multiple startup files you can define which program launches. So, let's say we have Office with Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I'm creating a virtual Office app called office. My multiple startup files will look like this:
..\word.exe <leaving command line blank, since I don't want to pass additional arguments> word
..\powerpoint.exe <still leaving command line blank> pp
..\excel.exe <still leaving command line blank> excel
And because it's used the most, I'll have the word line set to Auto Start. This should cause the following behaviour when running the exe:
run office.exe -> word opens
run office word -> word opens
run office pp -> powerpoint opens
run office excel -> excel opens
I haven't played around with an MSI of Office much, but I'm fairly certain if you create an MSI that uses multiple startup files it should register those applications.
