[izpack-users] Creating shortcuts based on version of windows

I'm trying to create an installer which when run installs a service on 
Windows NT, 2000, or XP. On Win98 (which doesn't support services) I 
would like to create a start up shortcut instead. So here are my questions:

I currently install the service using a job run via the ProcessPanel. I 
have specified <os family="windows"> but how do I specify the flavor of 
windows? I'm guessing that I should have something like <os 
family="windows" name="Windows NT">. Assuming you can only have one <os> 
tag per job then I guess I need to repeat the job for name="Windows 
2000" and name="Windows XP". Correct? By the way, is there a list of 
valid names for windows operating systems somewhere?

Is it possible to create a shortcut for a specific version of Windows. 
In otherwords I would like to create a start up shortcut on Windows 98 
but not on Windows NT, 2000, nor XP.
