Software Deployment

Use this code:

objFSO.MoveFile "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\oracle - oracle11gClient.lnk" , "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\oracle11g.lnk"

Then:

- use the correct forum http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tt.asp?forumid=6
- find out how to detect the OS and/or use environment variables, to avoid hard-coding the user/allusers profile location. That way, your script is portable and relatively future-proof.
- if, as I suspect, this script is to be run in an MSI, learn how to locate shortcuts properly without resorting to messy kludges.

script is prompting error FIle Not found at objFSo.MoveFile i have used environment variable %allusersprofile% and not success

Try this:

Option Explicit

Dim objShell, objFSO, strAllUsersProfile

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strAllUsersProfile = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%allusersprofile%")

If objFSO.FileExists(trim(strAllUsersProfile & "\Start Menu\Programs\oracle - oracle11gClient.lnk")) then
objFSO.MoveFile strAllUsersProfile & "\Start Menu\Programs\oracle - oracle11gClient.lnk", strAllUsersProfile & "\Start Menu\Programs\oracle11g.lnk"
End If

Set objShell = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing

- You haven't mentioned them, but I'm sure there must be many, many other parts of your job which we could perform for you. Why not list them out and see who volunteers?

- Do the job like a packager and use the MoveFile table instead of hacking like an amateur. I would post a link to the relevant page in MSDN but [huge leap of faith] I presume you can use Google?

LOL VB I was gonna jump in yesterday but I figured it ain't worth it. that's the kind of stuff I figured out quite a while ago and did NOT clutter up appdeploy with when i was a newb.

Why use a vbscript?
I guess you can modify it in the .rsp file.
