Excluding vs. Deleting App-V Package Shortcuts
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Microsoft App-V Assistant
To prevent a shortcut from being created in the App-V package, you can choose to either delete or exclude it, depending upon whether you want it to remain in the InstallShield project.
| • | Excluding a shortcut—When you exclude a shortcut, it will not be created in the App-V package, but it will remain in the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would be included in the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. |
| • | Deleting a shortcut—When you delete a shortcut, it is removed from both the App-V package and the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would also be deleted from the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. |
