How do I create desktop Icon using Application Builder

[Mwright]

I'm using the LabVIEW Application Builder 7.0 to build an installer package. It does everything fine, but I don't see how to create the desktop icon for the distributed application. The CVI version has an option for this, but I don't see it in the LabVIEW version. Is there now way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

see this link http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=103116


(Within the Application Builder dialog window is a tab called Application Settings.

Select this and you will find a control which you enable to allow adding of a icon file.

Then all you need a package to allow you to create icon files. There's plenty available on the internet.
If you have access to CVI, then there is an icon editor as part of the CVI cd.)

Ray-

I did that, but that only associates an icon with that application. It does not paste a shortcut icon to the desktop when I run the install package on anther computer. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, misunderstood your requirement.

The Application Builder doesn't support that. You would have to use a 3rd party installation package.

Ihave thought this come up a while back in the old forum. I have tried doing a search but nothing is coming to light.
