Is there a configuration command or part of the installation configuration that will allow us to deploy WaykNow without creating the desktop icon? We want to reduce the possible questions from users about the new software on their computers.

Hello

There is an option on the msi called "INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT" that can be used to disable the desktop icon.

For example, if I install using msiexec, the following command has the desired effect:

msiexec /q /i WaykNow-x64-3.3.0.0.msi INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=""

There is also a corresponding property for the Start Menu icon (INSTALLSTARTMENUSHORTCUT).

Let me know if that helps, or if you have further questions!

Excellent!
To use both options, I assume we add them all to the same command line:

msiexec /q /i WaykNowx64-3.3.0.0.msi INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT="" INSTALLSTARTMENUSHORTCUT=""
