[izpack-users] problem creating shortcuts

[mika]

Hi,

now I have a problem with creating shortcuts...

Well, I've added the ShellLink.dll into mySample application in the folder "<mySample>\bin\native\izpack\bin". A resource to the shortcutSpec.xml was added too.

Next I've created a shortcutSpec.xml with the following content:
<shortcuts>
  <skipIfNotSupported />
  <programGroup defaultName="CheckVirusUpdate"
                location="startMenu" />
  <shortcut name="Involve Checking"
		target="$INSTALL_PATH\win\CheckVirusUpdate.bat"
		description="This involves Checking wheather there are new updates"
		initialState="noShow"
		startMenu="yes">
    <createForPack name="executable" />
  </shortcut>
</shortcuts>

In the install.xml the panel ShortcutPanel was also added.

The compilation works super, but while installing this jar many errors occur:
could not create shortcut instance

Why wasn't the installer able to create this shortcut instance?

Thanks,
mika
