Shortcut Settings

Enter the name of the shortcut as it should appear on the client system.

Enter the path and file name of the file in the App-V package or on the client system that should be launched when end users launch the target’s shortcut or other entry point. As an alternative to manually entering a value, you can click the Browse This Package button or the Browse Your Computer button to browse to the target file.

Note:App-V 5.0 packages only. For App-V 4.x packages, this setting is under Target Settings.

Enter the command-line arguments for the shortcut. These arguments work in the same way as any other command-line arguments. For example, you can link a file to an executable file or cause an executable file to run silently by passing command-line arguments.

Note:Verify that the syntax is correct because the Virtual Package Editor does not do this.

Note:App-V 5.0 packages only. For App-V 4.x packages, this setting is under Target Settings.

Enter the path to the icon file (.ico, .exe, or .dll) that contains the icon resource for the shortcut. The location can be in the App-V package, or on your computer or the network. As an alternative to manually entering a value, you can click the Browse This Package button or the Browse Your Computer button to browse to the icon.

If the icon file that you specify contains more than one icon resource, after the icon path, add a comma and then the index number. For example, 0 refers to the first icon in the file, 1 refers to the second icon, and 2 refers to the third icon. To specify the third icon in C:\MyIcons.dll, enter the following:

C:\MyIcons.dll,2

Note:App-V 5.0 packages only. For App-V 4.x packages, this setting is under Target Settings.
