Changing executable name or creating Windows shortcut during installation

[angerbee]

I have a crazy AIR app setup where I need to launch applications. Basically what it came down to is, when I need to run the application, I have to click on a Windows console app I wrote that then launches the AIR app.

Is there a way to change the file that is called from the desktop icon that is created during installation with no user interaction? Or, is there a way to create a Windows shortcut?

hi

i create my own installers using Inno Script Generator
it gives me possibility to do everything what profesional installer can do (shortcuts as well).

Adobe AIR installer has one big disadvantage: enduser first need to install AIR runtime to use it. in my opinion it is way to complicated for him. creating own windows installer you can put AIR runtimes inside and during one instalation put both (runtimes and your air app) automaticly on end-user computer...

and GUI of windows installer is much more friendly - almost every common program has the same.
