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

[J-Pro]

Good afternoon, Klaus.

Thanks for testing for me. I've just tried the exact example I sent you and 
it worked with me too. In the case when it didn't work, there was different 
only name, it contained symbols ':' and ' '. And it contained more symbols. 
So it was this way:  "...... <shortcut os="windows"  name="JPR: Jennys 
Permanent Reconnector" ..... ". Sorry I didn't write it to you from the very 
start... it's just a commercial project and I signed an important contract 
"to not tell anybody.... blah, blah, blah...". Sorry again.

Please, try this example. I wonder if there is no bugs with long name or ':' 
and ' ' symbols.

Now I'm fine with shortcuts, really thanks for your help.

>>

>>  </shortcut>
>>
