>>As we know, the setup wizard can create distribution disk images. I use the images to setup my application but cannot create a shortcut on the desktop or in the start menu automatically at the end. I guess the "Post-installation executing program" during the setup wizard must be the answer, but how to make it.

>You'll need to access the IShellLink API to create the shortcuts; George Tasker has created a wrapper .DLL that makes the IShellLink API accessible from within VFP; it can be downloaded from the files section here on UT. If you have the Windows Scripting Host installed on the target system, the Wscript.Shell OLE Automation object has a set of methods that make the IShellLink API available through the Automation object; it can create shortcuts not only for a local resource, but also for URLs (links to the InterNet).

Thanks Ed. I got the wrapper .DLL, but still can't make it out. Can you show me how to code it, practically.
