Convert WSH to AU3

[mikep56]

Hi All,

This is an awesome board, and along with the MSFN boards, the amount of info is incredible.

I have been using nLite and WPI along with AutoIt to do unattended application installs for quite a while now. On occasion I will run across an application that either doesn't have an icon associated with it, or doesn't put a shortcut on the desktop. I have been using a WSH script that runs inside of WPI to put a shortcut on the desktop. Can this be done easier with an AutoIt script, or should I just stick with the WSH script? I can change the WSH script from one app to another to get the job done, but I really do not understand WSH, whereas I have a decent grasp of AutoIt.

Thanks for any responses.

Regards,

Mike

straight from help

; Sets a [color="#ffffff"]shortcut[/color] with ctrl+alt+t hotkey
FileCreateShortcut(@WindowsDir & "\Explorer.exe",@DesktopDir & "\[color="#ffffff"]Shortcut[/color]  Test.lnk",@WindowsDir,"/e,c:\", "This is an Explorer link;-)", @SystemDir & "\shell32.dll",  "^!t",  "15",  @SW_MINIMIZE)

all that info isn't necessary, see help

Hi Valuater,

Thanks for the quick response! Sorry that I missed that in the help section. I will replace all the WSH statements with this. Like I said, it is easier to just use one language, than to mix.

Mike
