izpack: create shortcut on windows
I use izpack to create an installer for my application. So far I was able to create the installer and on my linux machine everything is fine. The problem is that on the windows machines I tested it on (Win7 and WinXP) the installer did not show the shortcut panel. I did read the documentat开发者_如何学运维ion troubleshooting section and took care that I have the natives in my installer. Same goes for the shortcut xml file, they are in the installer in the resources path. I also read that most likely it is a case sensitive typo or something similar simple but could not figure it out. Here is my shortcut xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!--
This is the shortcut specification for windows. Its considered default so on
Systems that are not shortcut compatible the information is taken from here.
-->
<shortcuts>
<programGroup defaultName="SteamNet" location="applications"/>
<shortcut
name = "One Click Wonder"
target = "$INSTALL_PATH\oneclickwonder.bat"
commandLine = ""
workingDirectory= "$INSTALL_PATH"
description="Minimal Desktop Timer"
iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\images\windows_icon.ico"
iconIndex="0"
initialState="noShow"
programGroup="yes"
desktop="yes"
applications="yes"
startMenu="yes"
startup="yes"/>
</shortcuts>
I have created this (dummy) installation file just for testing the shortcut panel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<installation version="1.0">
<info>
<appname>Test</appname>
<appversion>1</appversion>
</info>
<guiprefs width="600" height="480" resizable="no">
</guiprefs>
<locale>
<langpack iso3="eng"/>
</locale>
<panels>
<panel classname="ShortcutPanel"/>
</panels>
<packs>
<pack name="Test" required="yes">
<description>Description</description>
</pack>
</packs>
<resources>
<res src="shortcutSpec.xml" id="shortcutSpec.xml"/>
</resources>
<native type="izpack" name="ShellLink.dll"/>
</installation>
Where shortcutSpec.xml
have the exact same content showed on your question.
I build it using IzPack 4.3.5 in Ubuntu (left) and tested on Windows 7 64 bits (right).
Shortcut panel open here and there.
Step by step:
- Download
IzPack-install-4.3.5.jar
- Install IzPack:
java -jar IzPack-install-4.3.5.jar
- Generate installer:
/usr/local/IzPack/bin/compile ./test.xml
- Test installer (Linux):
java -jar test.jar
- Test installer (Windows): copy
test.jar
from Linux, startcmd
, setpath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin
and executejava -jar test.jar
As per the IzPack documentation, are you including the required .dll in the installer? http://izpack.org/documentation/desktop-shortcuts.html
<native type="izpack" name="ShellLink.dll"/>
