[izpack-users] Shortcut Panel creates an EMPTY file as a shortcut

[J-Pro]

Good day, Klaus. Thanks for your answer.

You've understood right, I want to open an URL via created shortcut.
But there are many variants how can I do this. I can create an .url-file and 
make a shortcut for it. This isn't working, we saw it in my last letter.
The other way is to make IE shortcut with the command line parameter - the 
URL. I tried it. Here is how looked my shortcuts xml:

<shortcuts>

 <skipIfNotSupported/>

<programGroup defaultName="JPR" location="applications/startMenu"/>

<shortcut os="windows"
   name="JPR The Best"
   target="C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\iexplore.exe"
   commandLine="http://127.0.0.1:111/JPR/index.jsp"
   workingDirectory="C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386"
   description="Launch Client"
   iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\jpr.ico"
   iconIndex="0"
   initialState="normal"
   programGroup="yes"
   desktop="yes"
   applications="no"
   startMenu="no"
   startup="no">

    <createForPack name="Core"/>

 </shortcut>

</shortcuts>

And after going through ShortcutPanel, four items appeared on my desktop:

- empty file again, called JPR
- 3 lnk-files, called: "JPR%20The%20Best.lnk". All of them were with the 
same names, similar, with IE icon and were NOT shortcuts. When I 
right-clicked on any, the menu appears just like when I right-clicked on IE 
icon. Choosing "properties" opens IE properties, no shortcut properties.

And in Programs -> JPR ->  only empty file called JPR was created.


Then I decided to try to make shortcut to the other program. I have one, 
called 909.exe in the dir "D:\J-Pro's\909". So, I created xml:

<shortcuts>

  <skipIfNotSupported/>

 <programGroup defaultName="JPR" location="applications/startMenu"/>

 <shortcut os="windows"
    name="JPR The Best"
    target="D:\J-Pro's\909\909.EXE"
    commandLine=""
    workingDirectory="D:\J-Pro's\909"
    description="Launch Client"
    iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\jpr.ico"
    iconIndex="0"
    initialState="normal"
    programGroup="yes"
    desktop="yes"
    applications="no"
    startMenu="no"
    startup="no">

     <createForPack name="Core"/>

  </shortcut>

</shortcuts>

Then I compiled install.jar again and run it. But after I pressed Next in 
Shortcut panel, the same happened as above - 4 strange files (with 3  the 
same with IE icon).

What it can be, Klaus?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
