>Hi, I need to create a desktop link to a VFP5 application as part of the user's installation for the application. I don't see any options in the Setup Wizard to permit this. Is there a way to do this in Setup or in the application project?

No, not without a post setup executable. The setup program used by the setup wizard is a 16 bit application. As such it creates the short cuts using the DDE interface with the program manager, and can't retrieve the desktop folder, etc.

The easiest way to do this, provided the Windows Script Host is installed, is to use the WScript.Shell object's methods to create the short cut link. If the WSH isn't available, my LNKFILES.DLL (in Files under Win32 and Other APIs) can do this from a post setup executable. The DLL comes with a help file with all the examples in VFP.
