automatic creation of desktop icon using application builder installer

[ATS-MN]

Can app builder create and installer where a desktop icon is automatically placed on the desktop?

Hi ATS-MN

With LabVIEW 8 you can create a shortcut on the desktop.  In the new Installer Builder, there is a category for shortcuts and you can specify the executable and the desktop folder here.  In previous version of LabVIEW, you were not able to have an installer create desktop shortcuts.

Hope this helps!
