VS 2010 .net Create And Delete Desktop Shortcut?
Mar 24, 2011I'm writing a vb.net (2010) app to extract a zip file in XP to a specific folder. That part works fine. Now I want to create a desktop shortcut to an application (if it exists I need to delete it first)
This should be an easy to find answer but I believe my eye is beginning to twitch!2 error messages: First Error: "Type expected" On Dim shortCut As IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut = DirectCast(WshShell.CreateShortcut(FileName, IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut), == this is a simple syntax error but I thought the type was the IWshShortcut ==
Second Error: On "With Shortcut" it fusses: " cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initalizer without an explicit instance of the class."

Dec 13, 2007I need to create a shortcut to my VB.NET program when the user presses a button but I cannot use the WshShell method because all windows scripting are disabled on the systems.In VB6, I was using the following API:
Private Declare Function fCreateShellLink Lib "vb6stkit.dll" (ByVal lpstrFolderName As String, _
ByVal lpstrLinkName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkPath As String, ByVal lpstrLinkArguments As String, _
ByVal fPrivate As Long, ByVal sParent As String) As Long
Would that be a good alternative to create a shortcut from VB.NET, or is there a better way (without scripting)?
