Datastream Shortcut
I need to move a shortcut for Datastream 5.0.0.959 package. This comes in msi from the vendor. However there is no shortcuts in the table. I dont see any custom actions related to shortcut creation. There are 28 that run the same dll.
I have installation log and dont see anything related to shortcut either.
I can create a new shortcut, but not sure how to remove the vendor???
Really dont want to create a snapshot of an msi.
Any idea where i can start looking?
Thank you.

You're a Wise user, right?
- Open the MSI
- Click the 'Debug' button on the bottom right of the window.
- Once the debugger has loaded, scroll down the left-hand window displaying the Actions list to the first of the 28 CAs you mention .
- Hit F9 (create a break-point).
- Hit F5 and the MSI starts executing.
- Open a window on to the target desktop so that you can watch the s/c being created.
- Once the s/c appears on the desktop, the CA which created it will then be highlighted in the list
- Open the MSI

Thanks for the response. Nothing is the file table.

I disabled the custom action named as "MyIcon" which was created the shortcut, and later I created the shortcut manually. It works - ankita_g29 11 years ago

Thanks for reply. I solved the issue by creating a new sc, and running a vbscript CA to delete vendor sc.
However i wanted to try Debugging, i got a bit confused "the CA which created it will then be highlighted in the list "
I created a break-point on the action that i though is creating a SC "running a same dll as all other CA's", and when debug stooped i hit F8 to "step into" then debug stopped again and SC is created. Next i opened the msi and disabled this CA.
When i try to install updated msi i start getting errors that source files not found "1308"
Thanks for the help.
