Problem with Shortcut Panel. Not showing.

[Andrey Pletenev]

Hi, everyone!
Could you please advise what might be wrong with my shortcutSpec.xml?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<izpack:shortcuts version="5.0"

    xmlns:izpack="http://izpack.org/schema/shortcuts"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://izpack.org/schema/shortcuts http://izpack.org/schema/5.0/izpack-shortcuts-5.0.xsd">

    <lateShortcutInstall/>

    <shortcut name="Test shortcut" target="$INSTALL_PATH\cmd.exe" startup="true">

    </shortcut>

</izpack:shortcuts>

The problem is that the Shortcut Panel is simply not showing.

In my installer XML, I have:
<natives>
     <native type="izpack" name="ShellLink.dll"/>
     <native type="izpack" name="ShellLink_x64.dll"/>
</natives>

<resources>
      <res id="default_shortcut_spec.xml" src="shortcutSpec.xml"/>
</resources>

<panels>
     <panel classname="CheckedHelloPanel"/>
     <panel classname="InstallationGroupPanel"/>
     <panel classname="TreePacksPanel"/>
     <panel classname="ShortcutPanel"/>
     <panel classname="TargetPanel"/>
     <panel classname="InstallPanel"/>
     <panel classname="SimpleFinishPanel"/>
</panels>

There are no compilation or runtime errors in the console.

Hi,

According to https://izpack.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IZPACK/pages/491537/Desktop+Shortcuts the id of the shortcut must be (prefix)+shortcutSpec.xml.

In your case:

<resources>
      <res id="shortcutSpec.xml" src="shortcutSpec.xml"/>
</resources>

Does this help?

Cheers,

Andreas
