Hi Elmar,
I created some dummy accounts on my lap top and installed my s/w with
admin privellages i.e from my account(as i am the admin) and once i finished
the installation i can see the desktop shortcuts - a shortcut placed in the
"start menu" & also on the desktop, now when i logg off and log in to some
user account which i created and see , there i do not see this desktop
shortcut neither in the menu nor on the desktop but could see a folder
created where it was said to be installed while installing by admin in the
C:\Program Files\(my s/w folder) with the all the contents it has to have
but just missing the "shortcut / icon ".
I guess this probelm will be solved if you could suggest me some way to make
the "all users" check box appear ..i even tried on other systems it behaves
the same way, please let me know if i need to add something in my spec file,
if something has to bee added what is it..?
Thanks,
nandy
