I use izpack to create an installer for my application. So far I was able to create the installer and on my linux machine everything is fine.
The problem is that on the windows machines I tested it on (Win7 6bits) the installer did not show the shortcut panel.
I did read the documentation troubleshooting section and took care that I have the natives in my installer.
Same goes for the shortcut xml file, they are in the installer in the resources path. I also read that most likely it is a case sensitive typo or something similar simple but could not figure it out. Here is my shortcut xml:
<shortcuts>
<programGroup defaultName="SteamNet" location="applications"/>
<shortcut
name = "One Click Wonder"
target = "$INSTALL_PATHoneclickwonder.bat"
commandLine = ""
workingDirectory= "$INSTALL_PATH"
description="Minimal Desktop Timer"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATHimageswindows_icon.ico"
iconIndex="0"
initialState="noShow"
programGroup="yes"
desktop="yes"
applications="yes"
startMenu="yes"
startup="yes"/>
</shortcuts>
And this is my install.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<installation version="1.0">
<info>
<appname>Test</appname>
<appversion>1</appversion>
</info>
<guiprefs width="600" height="480" resizable="no">
</guiprefs>
<locale>
<langpack iso3="eng"/>
</locale>
<panels>
<panel classname="ShortcutPanel"/>
</panels>
<packs>
<pack name="Test" required="yes">
<description>Description</description>
</pack>
</packs>
<resources>
<res src="shortcutSpec.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml"/>
</resources>
<natives>
<native type="izpack" name="ShellLink_x64.dll"/>
</natives>
</installation>
But i can't display the shortcut panel in my installer ... !
