CEShortcuts

The [CEShortcuts] section, a Windows CE–specific section under the [DefaultInstall] section, is optional and describes the shortcuts that the installation application creates on the device.

[shortcut_list_section]
shortcut_filename,shortcut_type_flag,target_file/path[,standard_destination_path]
[shortcut_filename,shortcut_type_flag,target_file/path[,standard_destination_path]]

shortcut_filename

String that identifies the shortcut name. It does not require the .lnk extension.

shortcut_type_flag

Numeric value. Zero or empty represents a shortcut to a file; any nonzero numeric value represents a shortcut to a folder.

target_file/path

String value that specifies the destination location. For a file, use the target file name—for example, MyApp.exe—that must be defined in a file copy list. For a path, use a file_list_section name defined in the [DestinationDirs] section—for example, DefaultDestDir—or the %InstallDir% string.

standard_destination_path

Optional string value. A standard %CEx% path or %InstallDir%. If no value is specified, the shortcut_list_section name of the current section or the DefaultDestDir value from the [DestinationDirs] section is used.

The following code example shows a typical [CEShortcuts] section.

CEShortcuts = Shortcuts.All

[Shortcuts.All]
Sample App,0,sample.exe              ; Uses the path in DestinationDirs.
Sample App,0,sample.exe,%InstallDir% ; The path is explicitly specified.
