CyberInstaller Studio - 44. Wizard added link

 

Clicking on the menu Tools/"New Connection Wizard" or using the specific activity of step 13 "Links", or via the button at the same pace, it will open the window "add connection wizard" that, through a wizard that will assist you in 4 easy steps will guide you quickly adding a link (link or shortcut) to the package.


Using this wizard is especially recommended for less experienced users, since the package will add a link to a working file of the package quickly and safely.


This tool is also activated at any time by simply pressing keys <Ctrl + L>.


The wizard presents a classic structure: a step appears at a time, to enter the next step, simply click on "Next" button to return to previous step usually use "Back" button. The "Finish" button, if present, indicates that, when clicked, all data entered in the wizard will be used to create the package (if you have entered all the required information.) The Close button ends the wizard with no changes (no action will be taken), the button "?" open this online manual to this page.



 CyberInstaller Studio - 44.1. Step 1: Type link

 

The first step of the wizard link is added: Type link.


Here you can specify whether the connection you are creating is normal (ie, points to a file that is included in the package), or is to remove (that is the special link that initiates the removal of the package) . .


Normal [option]

Select this option if you want to create a shortcut that points to any of the files in the current package. It's possible create a shortcut to an executable, allowing you to start quickly, or to a file or a document of the documentation associated with an executable file included in the package.

Removal [option]

Select this option if you want to create a special link that will launch immediately remove the current package. You will not have to worry about anything: the link will be created with all the necessary parameters in an absolutely transparent. For this reason, indeed, the "Next" button the wizard will change to "end", because you will not need further input.

 


 CyberInstaller Studio - 44.2. Step 2: File pointing

 

The second step of the wizard added link is: File pointed.

Here you can specify the file you want to point the shortcut that you create. It's possible create a shortcut to an executable, allowing you to start quickly, or to a file or a document of the documentation associated to an executable file included in the package.

File pointed to by the link [field] -- Eg: "|$AppPath$|\Studio\CyberInstallerStudio.exe"

Here you can type the path, referred to the current package (thus using the patterns of the system), which will direct link. To avoid making typing errors and having to remember the path to memory, it is recommended to use the dialog "Browse package", recalled by pressing the button "..." located to the right of this field.




 CyberInstaller Studio - 44.3. Step 3: Description

 

The third step of the wizard added link is: Description.


You must specify a description for the shortcut you want to create. The description is fundamental because it is the name of the link is because it is the only text that the user will see. Accordingly, the description should make it clear immediately what the user will initiate the connection.


Description of the connection [field] -- Eg: "CyberInstaller Studio 2008"

In this field you can type a description for the current connection. The description must be extended, although brief, and be as readable as possible for the end user. By default it is proposed the name of the file pointed to, without extension and with a capital letter.




 CyberInstaller Studio - 44.4. Step 4: Destination

 

The fourth step of the wizard added link is: Destination.


Here you must specify where you want the shortcut that you create. It's possible choose between the 3 folders usually more used to this purpose: the "Start Menu", the group folder "Startup" or "Desktop user selected". According to the selected destination is set to confirm the creation of the connection: no confirmation in the case of the "Start Menu", an explicit request by the user in all other cases. You can always change this parameter from the window of manual modification of a link.


Start Menu [option]

By selecting this option, the link will be created in the Start Menu, the default destination folder group (with the same name as the current package).

Startup [option]

By selecting this option, the link will be created in the group folder "Startup" Start Menu. In this way, the link will run every time the user connects to the system for which the link is installed (see Step 1 "General Parameters" for information about the destination).

Desktop [option]

By selecting this option, the link will be created in the user's desktop selected during installation ("current user" or "all users").

Note: To create the shortcut in any folder on the target system can use the "Add" in step 13 "Links" which allows you to manage all the details on the capillary creating a shortcut.
