[izpack-users] no shortcuts created using automated installscript

[Marc Eppelmann]

Hi Mika,
I'm sorry, but it seems that the new Linux shortcuts and some other related 
stuff are not implemented in the Automated Installation.

There are some old fragments in the auto.install.xml but these will never be 
handled related to the current features.

The only thing, what I see, is that the "old" win32-shortcuts - may be - can 
be created successfully. 

So my Questions are: 

- Does your Automated Shortcut creation run properly on the Win32 Platform? 
And is this enough at this time? Or?
- Is it +very+ important to support Linux Shortcuts with the automated 
installation for your izpack-setup?

If your answer to the second question is *Yes*, I will try to spend many time 
this weekend to implement a solution for this issue to the coming 3.9 version 
of izpack.

otherwise I will relax this weekend ;-)

Let me know

Cheers Marc
