Add QuickLaunch Icon using /LOADINF options

[proverbs36]

Is there a way to use the /LOADINF option to install the Quick Launch Icon for Beyond Compare? I am using the following syntax in my load batch file:

"c:\Program Setup\beycomp_241.exe" /LOADINF="c:\Program Setup\beycomp_241.inf" /SP- /VERYSILENT

When this syntax runs, I get the desktop icon, but not the quick launch icon. Is this because the quick launch icon is not the default from the beycomp.exe setup?

Thanks in advanced!

Have a Blessed day!!

John,

It isn't possible to save the quick launch icon preference in the inf file. You can specify quick launch preferences using a command line switch.

To create a quick launch icon, use:

"c:\Program Setup\beycomp_241.exe" /LOADINF="c:\Program Setup\beycomp_241.inf" /SP- /VERYSILENT /TASKS=quicklaunchicon

It should avoid creating a quick launch icon without specifying it, but to make sure the quick launch icon isn't used, use the switch:

/TASKS=!quicklaunchicon

Other /TASKS= options are:

desktopicon
shellextension

To specify multiple tasks, separate with commas, such as:

/TASKS=quicklaunchicon,!desktopicon

Thanks Chris!!

Worked wonderfully!! It even worked with another software that we use, called ConTEXT, which uses Jordan's install program.

Have a Blessed Day!!
