OPTIONAL desktop shortcut on client install

6 votes

Cant be right that the shortcut cant be removed from the installer using Orca.
It also cant be right that you have to run powershell scripts, or use GPO's to remove these mandatory shortcuts. So the topion on the installer itself during install, and an actual shortcut in the shortcut parts of the msi installer would be nice.

Thanks

I understand your request to remove the desktop shortcut from the installer itself, but it has been like this for years now. That being said, I just wanted to share the method I used in our environment using a GPO so you don't have to reinvent the wheel while waiting for a proper solution. I posted a screenshot of the required settings in this forum thread: https://forum.pulseway.com/topic/2588-install-without-desktop-shortcut/?tab=comments#comment-10573

Hope it helps =).
