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).

izpack: create shortcut on windows

Shortcut panel open here and there.

Step by step:

  1. Download IzPack-install-4.3.5.jar
  2. Install IzPack: java -jar IzPack-install-4.3.5.jar
  3. Generate installer: /usr/local/IzPack/bin/compile ./test.xml
  4. Test installer (Linux): java -jar test.jar
  5. Test installer (Windows): copy test.jar from Linux, start cmd, set path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin and execute java -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"/>
