Good morning,

I want to create a package that simply creates a link on the user's desktop.
It seemed quite trivial to me, with examples all over the documentation or on the internet, and yet I can't manage it.

Here is my Python code:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *


uninstallkey = []
def install():
    print('installing EDITML')
def session_setup():
  create_user_desktop_shortcut(r'Editer une liste de distribution',target='%systemroot%\system32\rundll32.exe dsquery.dll,OpenQueryWindow')

And with each attempt to execute it, I get:

Code: Select all

Ligne de Commande : session-setup "c:\waptdev\ADV-EDITML-wapt\WAPT\.."
Configuring c:\waptdev\ADV-EDITML-wapt ...

Could someone tell me what's wrong?

THANKS

Code: Select all

def session_setup():
    with disable_file_system_redirection():
        create_user_desktop_shortcut(r'Editer une liste de distribution',target=makepath(system32(),'rundll32.exe'),arguments='dsquery.dll,OpenQueryWindow')

Thanks Hubert, I kind of forgot that my command had an executable and an argument...
