JeffVandervoort Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 In this system, (all Win 6.1) we redirect ALL possible folders, including Start Menu. It appears that the PC Monitor Start Menu shortcut is machine specific. When I launch PC Monitor from the shortcut on any machine other than the one on which the shortcut was originally installed, I get this error: [Window Title] Problem with Shortcut [Content] The parameter is incorrect. [OK] I suspect the same problem will occur if you DON'T redirect folders but DO use roaming profiles...but I haven't tested that. Probably the best and easiest fix: Install the shortcut to the All Users Start Menu.
Marius Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Not sure if installing for all users is a good idea, the normal user will not have access to the app (requires admin rights)
JeffVandervoort Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Normal users don't have access to servers. And a shortcut that doesn't work isn't a good idea, either!
Marius Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Is the app working OK? Is it just the shortcut that causes the issue?
JeffVandervoort Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 The app is fine. I can launch it from the .exe or create a non-MSI shortcut to it and run that. The MSI shortcut is the problem. I just realized that now that I'm installing by GPSI Computer Configuration, I won't have that problem, any more...the shortcut will be placed in All Users. So there's another workaround!
