Desktop shortcut when installing with msiexec

Desktop shortcut when installing with msiexec

Hello.

When using the provided command to install RDM with msiexec unattended, there is a flag
INSTALLMODE=Complete that should perform the complete install of RDM. However, it does not seem to add the shortcut to desktop. Is there a undocumented way of getting the installer to add the shortcut even when installing with msiexec and quiet/unattended?

Hello

I haven't tested this but I think you can achieve what you want with the MSI property "AI_DESKTOP_SH".

If I understand the documentation from our installer vendor, you should set it to a non-empty value to activate the shortcut.

So, something like: msiexec /i {path-to-rdm.msi} {other-install-options} AI_DESKTOP_SH="1"

Please let me know if that works for you

Kind regards,
