Warning -9423: No Shortcuts Detected

Warning

Message

For App-V packages:

No shortcuts were detected in the source package. This can be a valid scenario for packages with file type association entry points and/or those that are meant to be dependencies of other App-V packages through the use of Dynamic Suite Composition functionality.

For XenApp and ThinApp packages:

This package contains no shortcuts. Shortcuts are necessary to define the entry point into the virtual application.

Cause

Package contains no shortcuts.

• App-V—For conversion to App-V packages, this issue is acceptable in some scenarios, such as packages which provide dependencies to others which dynamically suite it. However, if this package merely provides a plug-in to another application, it must contain a shortcut to launch that application in this package’s virtual context.
• ThinApp and XenApp—For conversion to ThinApp and XenApp formats, shortcuts are necessary to define the entry point into the virtual application.

Resolution:

One potential resolution to this issue is to use InstallShield Editor to add shortcut(s) to the Windows Installer package.
