File.windowsShortcut

In this example, the windowsShortcut method is used to add a shortcut in the Program directory ("Program" is a keyword for the directory in which the program itself is installed, for example, C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6\" on Windows) to Windows software (misc.exe) that is installed in the "Windows" directory.

 var xpiSrc = "misc.exe";
 var vi = "1.1.1.1";
 initInstall(
   "Windows Shortcut",
   "test",
   vi,
   0);
 f = getFolder("Windows");
 g = getFolder("Temporary");
 addFile(
   "miscshortcut",
   "2.2.2.2",
   xpiSrc,
   f,
   xpiSrc,
   true);
 target = getFolder(f, xpiSrc);
 shortcutpath = getFolder("Program");
 err = File.windowsShortcut(
  target, 
  shortcutpath, 
  "misc shortcut", 
  g, 
  "", 
  target, 
  0);
 logComment("file.windowsShortcut returns: " + err);
 if (0 == getLastError())
   performInstall();
 else
   cancelInstall();
