Click Shortcuts on the Distributed Files tab of TestStand Deployment Utility to launch the Shortcuts dialog box, in which you can create shortcuts in the system installer.

• Shortcuts —The current list of shortcuts. You can edit the properties of a shortcut by selecting the shortcut and then editing the Shortcut Base Path, Shortcut Relative Path, and Shortcut Command Line Arguments.
• Shortcut Base Path —The base directory the installer uses as the location for the shortcut.
• Shortcut Relative Path —A subdirectory under the Shortcut Base Path the installer uses as the location for the shortcut.
• Shortcut Command Line Arguments —The command-line arguments for the shortcut.
  Note This option is not available for package-based distributions.
• Shortcut Start in —Specifies the current working directory to use when you launch the application with this shortcut. If you do not specify a path, the installer uses the directory in which the target file installs. You can specify absolute paths and paths relative to the current working directory. Use relative paths when you want to call the shortcut from another process or from the command line.
  Note Double-clicking a shortcut with a relative path uses the default Windows working directory (typically C:\Windows\System32 ) as the current working directory, which can cause unexpected behavior.
  Note This option is not available for package-based distributions.
• Add Shortcut —Creates a new shortcut based on the Shortcut Base Path, Shortcut Relative Path, and Shortcut Command Line Arguments.
• Delete Shortcut —Removes the currently selected shortcut. This button is disabled if no shortcuts exist.
