I seem to be having a bit of a problem with installrite.

I am using the following method to build install kits for all my applications:

1. Create clean XP and SP2 Slipstrreamed CD

2. Use VMWare and mount the slipstreamed ISO

3. Use the ISO to install XP & SP2 on a new virtual system

4. Install Installrite on the Virtual PC and start it up

5. install the software using installrite to monitor the installation and build an install kit for each application.

6. put the install kits on the Slipstreamed cd using RunOnceEx.cmd to call each install kits.

7. Rebuild the ISO and install XP on a new virtual pc, now with all the APPS installed

It SEEMS to work flawlessly and all the applications are installed.

The only problem is that the shortcuts, both on the desktop and in the start menu dont actually point to anything.

If I go into the program files Directory for any of the applications, I can start them using the exe, but if I look at the properties for SOME of the shortcuts, there is nothing in the Target Location line. All other entries are correct.

This happens for the likes of Jasc Paint SHop Pro 8 and DVD2SVCD, but DVD Lab works fine.

The problem, when it happens, is in both the desktop shortcut, and in the start menu.

Any ideas on how to rectify this problem?

Just wondering if I should reboot the Virtual PC after each installation and then build the install kit.
