Hey all,
So we're deploying ThinApps through View to our linked clone pools and I'm being asked to place the shortcuts inside (so in this example, for Adobe Pro this is the path):
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Adobe
Having them go into the C:\ProgramData start menu isn't an option. The ThinApps are presently being packaged on an XP VM (due to compatibility with our Windows 7 View environment and future desktop deployment, not everyone is on 7 yet) and I'm using the paths detailed here: http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2012/05/macro-folder-locations-and-newer-versions-of-windows.html#more-1184
Here's an example from our Adobe Pro package.ini:
[Adobe Acrobat Distiller X.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\acrodist.exe
Shortcut=Adobe Acrobat X Pro.dat
FileTypes=.joboptions.ps
ObjectTypes=PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller.1;PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller6.1
Shortcuts=%Programs%\Applications\Adobe
When I install it on my XP VM the shortcuts go in the proper place, but when I install on Windows 7 they go into the ProgramData start menu. All I'm thinking is that I've gotten the path mixed up for where to put the icon, can someone help me out with where I need to point it instead so it will go to the right spot? Help?
Thanks!
