MSIX Desktop Shortcut

Fri Feb 16, 2024 5:29 pm

I am having a problem with the MSIX installer not creating a desktop icon. I have AI set to create a shortcut in DesktopFolder and the shortcut target points to my executable.

The installer creates a desktop shortcut on some machines but not others. Am I missing a setting?

Thanks for the link. I've deleted my current shortcuts and remade them. I'm still not seeing the desktop shortcut on any Windows machine. We're testing on various Windows machines, both Windows 10 and 11.

Hello,

From what I can see, you already have a thread going on with my colleague Daniel over the email.

If possible, please continue it there so we avoid duplicate threads.
