Currently I am using the VFP Installer which does a good job of putting the right pieces together to make up an Inatallation CD. But one thing it doesn't do is create the Launch Icon.

Now I got poking around in this before and I learned about the Windows Scripting Host and I got code as below to work for Windows 95/98:

OWSH = CREATEOBJECT("wscript.shell")
CDESKPATH = OWSH.SPECIALFOLDERS("desktop")
OSHORT = OWSH.CREATESHORTCUT(CDESKPATH+"\TIME TABLE VISUALISER 2.0.LNK")
TP = HDRIV + "\TTVIZ.EXE"
OSHORT.TARGETPATH = TP
OSHORT.WORKINGDIRECTORY = HDRIV
OSHORT.ICONLOCATION = "TTVIZ.ico"
OSHORT.SAVE

In this case, the operator enters the variable HDRIV for the directory that they installed to and the code above does the rest.

But it does not work for Windows NT.

Has anyone got invoved with the Windows Scripting Host for Windows NT and how this should be rewritten?
