[izpack-users] Controlling the order of shortcuts

[Markus Schlegel]

Searched for the Shortcut order solution for a while, but did not find one.

What I could find out is, that the ShortcutPanel does it's job right. It creates the Shortcuts in the correct order.
But somehow they get rearranged in windows. There is a binary value in the registry that controls the order, but I could not find an API for it.

Will not investigate more time in this for now.

Thanks Markus, let me know if you find anything interesting. I don't have a windows machine to try and find out myself (only remote test
machines) , so I can hardly help ...

Cheers

I guess I can do this using a (programatic) InstallerListener.afterPacks(). When the ShortcutPanel comes after the InstallPanel, it should of corse create the Shortcuts immediately.
