Re: Changing name off Shortcut

serbo · ‎03-29-2012

Hi,

I've searched high and low on changes I can make to the package.ini to allow me to change the name of the ThinApp when it is streamed to a VDI Desktop.

So after I build my app it builds fine with the usual files (exe, msi and dat). The app works fine on our VDI Desktops but the users complain about the name!!!!!

So is it possible to change the name of the exe without having to capture the app again?

Cheers

Does it work for you if you just change the name of primary data container or shortcut executable in the package.ini and rebuild? For example,

From:

[App.exe]

......

ReadOnlyData=Package.ro.tvr

......

[ShortcutApp.exe]

Shortcut=App.exe

To:

[App1.exe]

......

ReadOnlyData=Package.ro.tvr

......

[ShortcutApp1.exe]

Shortcut=App1.exe

Then you will get App1.exe and ShortcutApp1.exe.

Serbo,

Are you referring to the name of the shortcut or the name of the EXE?

Hi Lakshman, Hi guys,

I would like to change the name of the shortcut placed on the desktop during the thinreg process.

I tried to modify the name of the shortcut file on the project (something like %Common Desktop%\myapp.lnk) and rebuild it but without success.

Should I modify something on the package.ini file ?

Thanks for your help!

Buijspa,

You have to modify the name of the exe in the package.ini.

For example, to change Firefox shortcut from 'Mozilla Firefox' to 'Mozilla', look for [Mozilla Firefox.exe] in the package.ini and change it to [Mozilla.exe]
