I'm going to create an installer for my Qt app using Qt Installer Framework.
I have a Qt Cal.exe file and a package_directory folder on my Windows desktop with the following contents:
The package_directory's contents (http://uploads.im/NDREK.jpg).
The config folder contains a config.xml (https://paste.ofcode.org/33Q4EPXqzTAZYPaXuCWTCpw) file.
The packages folder contains a subfolder named com.vendor.product. And it, contains two subfolders named data and meta.
The data subfolder contains a file named data.7z.
The meta subfolder contains three files:
A license.txt file, a package.xml (https://paste.ofcode.org/39UugvWWKCUg4NivBM6Zcny) file, and a installscript.qs (https://paste.ofcode.org/BJcpxkJB4pNXHbrxiGZLGQ) file.
By a command Line, I try to use the binarycreator.exe to create the installer this way:
C:\Qt\QtIFW2.0.3\bin\binarycreator.exe -c C:\Users\CS\Desktop\package_directory\config\confi g.xml -p C:\Users\CS\Desktop\package_directory\packages C:\Users\CS\Desktop\Result\Cal.exe
The Command is run well and without any error and it creates an installer (program) named Cal (http://uploads.im/NKROm.jpg) in the Result folder (which was on my Desktop).
When I run the program to install it on my Windows machine, it will be installed and it also (like any usual program) creates a shortcut on the Desktop. Until now everything OK.
But the problem!
The problem is that, that shortcut file is an unknown file (http://uploads.im/qzArV.jpg) and it shows an error message (http://uploads.im/J7mKH.jpg)!
My question is, what is the problem with the installscript.qs file that creates an unknown file, and how to solve it, so that it creates a useful shortcut please?
