>>>I'm not sure if this is an Installshield question or Visual Foxpro, but hoping I can find the answer here. I have an installshield setup created that installs a VFP 9 program onto the computer. I have a post install program, written in VFP, that runs in the routine to subst an F drive for the program directory. I then want a shortcut on the start menu to point to the program as it exists on the F drive rather than the C drive. Unfortunately, Installshield tries to verify that the F drive exists before it will install anything, so I can't setup the shortcut within the Installshield routine. It doesn't appear possible to make an unverified shortcut from within Installshield...

>>>It makes sense to me to create the shortcut after the drive substitution is made within the VFP post-install routine. Is there a quick and easy way to create a windows shortcut to point to an EXE file from with VFP?
>>>
>>>Thanks in advance!
