I want to create desktop shortcut for exe fi开发者_如何学Pythonle through program. I do not want to use installer to do this. Can a piece of code in program do this?How?
Chasler has answered that question a couple of years ago here on SO.
Add a reference to the Windows Script Host Object Model
Imports IWshRuntimeLibrary
Private Sub CreateShortCut(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Title As String)
Try
Dim WshShell As New WshShell
' short cut files have a .lnk extension
Dim shortCut As IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut = DirectCast(WshShell.CreateShortcut(FileName, IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)
' set the shortcut properties
With shortCut
.TargetPath = Application.ExecutablePath
.WindowStyle = 1I
.Description = Title
.WorkingDirectory = Application.StartupPath
' the next line gets the first Icon from the executing program
.IconLocation = Application.ExecutablePath & ", 0"
.Arguments = String.Empty
.Save() ' save the shortcut file
End With
Catch ex As System.Exception
MessageBox.Show("Could not create the shortcut" & Environment.NewLine & ex.Message, g_strAppTitleVersion, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try
End Sub
(Source)
This code works very well
Private Function CreateShortCut(ByVal TargetName As String, ByVal ShortCutPath As String, ByVal ShortCutName As String) As Boolean
Dim oShell As Object
Dim oLink As Object
'you don’t need to import anything in the project reference to create the Shell Object
Try
oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oLink = oShell.CreateShortcut(ShortCutPath & "\" & ShortCutName & ".lnk")
oLink.TargetPath = TargetName
oLink.WindowStyle = 1
oLink.Save()
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Function
