Create File Shortcut

The create file shortcut action allows you to create a shortcut on the client during an update.  To use this action, you set the location of the shortcut, the target of the shortcut, and any command line arguments.

For this action to be valid, a shortcut location, target location, and if set, an Icon location must be configured.

If the defined shortcut already exists on the client, you can choose to replace it, skip it, or abort the update.

Prepare Stage

During the prepare stage, this action verifies permissions to the shortcut location folder.

Execute Stage

Creates a new shortcut on the client computer.  If a shortcut already exists, the original is backed up.

Rollback Stage

If a preexisting shortcut was backed up in the execute stage, this shortcut is restored.
