INSTALL ON PROGAMS/START

[andrespaez]

Hi...

I'm developing an application and I like to install it in the programs/start directory.

Which are the commands in the installer details? or have I to use the "afterinstall" script?... Which is this script?

Thanks for your help

Yes, enable the "Run afterInstall script" option, then insert a new script "AfterInstall" into your swfkit project and add the following code

// get the startup folder
var startup = Shell.getSpecialFolder("startup all");

// get the app path name
var appName = getExeName();

// create the shortcut in the startup folder
var shortcut = new Shortcut(startup + "\\My Demo"  + ".lnk");
shortcut.targetPath = appName;
shortcut.save();

I found great help on this "Startup" lnk added code, but somehow, when I try to uninstall the application, the lnk file can't be taken off from the startup menu.

Is there any extra code I need to add in order to uninstall the shortcut from the startup menu?

Please let me know if there is any code needed to be added at the "BeforeUninst" script. Thanks a lot.

In the "BeforeUninst" script, you just need to remove the shortcut as follows:

// get the startup folder
var startup = Shell.getSpecialFolder("startup all");

// remove the shortcut
var f = new File(startup + "\\My Demo"  + ".lnk");
f.remove();

Thanks for the reply!!!
I have tried the code you provided,
but still, I could only uninstall the program group,
the shortcut in the startup couldn't be removed...
After I uninstall the application,
the lnk file in the startup seems not being affected.

I have emailed my project file to support@swfkit.com
Hopefully, you might be able to find out the problem of the code or setting. Thank you very much. ???
