How to delete NI MAX shortcut

[Munna232]

Hello all,

I have small issue. Please help me.

As per below image, I have added NI MAX in my application (when I created application).

When I installed my installer in other PC, NI MAX shortcut is created in programs menu & desktop.

But I don’t want this shortcut in programs menu. Is there is any options to disable this shortcut when we are building application (Installer)?

Hi Munna,

usually you can start your own executables/batch scripts in the setup process before and after your LabVIEW executable is installed.

Why not write a small batch file to delete those entries after installation?

Dear GerdW,

Thanks for your nice idea 🙂 .

I want to confirm one thing, usually I don’t have admin rights to change/modify any of the files from Program menu.

I have only admin rights to install my specific application. Is this batch file will works without admin rights?

Hi Munna,

I don't know. But I hope the whole installer ("setup.exe") and all executables called by setup.exe are run with the same admin rights…

(Maybe someone from NI might clarify that issue.)

Dear GerdW,

Thanks for your reply.

Usually how many exes we can add at this place. Because I have already added one exe.

Is it possible to add another exe here ?

Hello Syrpimp,

Sorry to say, I haven’t got any information about my issue from this link.

Hi Munna,

you can call a batch file. And in the batch file you can call as many executables you want…
