Hey Dave,
We'll add this with wyBuild 2.6.19.
When creating a shortcut with wyBuild you have options to give the shortcut a name, shortcut path, start in, run type, and comment.
If you want to create a shortcut with command line arguments it seems you CANNOT!
Lets say you want to create a shortcut with the following path...
%basedir%\BSPUpdater.exe
BUT you actually want to invoke the program with a command line argument:BSPUpdater -m(or similar)
Entering the path as:
"%basedir%\BSPUpdater.exe" -m
ORjust
%basedir%\BSPUpdater.exe -m
unfortunately....result in an additional set of quotes around the entire path when the shortcut is created.
I have not checked yet if wyUpdate can be configured to create the shortcut correctly when building from the command line. So its not clear if this is a wyBuild or wyUpdate problem. Ideally it would be possible to create a shortcut with command line arguments. The only alternative at the moment seems to be to create a proxy program to launch the required one with the correct argument. You cant use a batch file as the only way to specify the icon is for it to be taken from the original program. In other words using a batch file as the proxy will mean you will get a less than ideal icon.

Hey Dave,
We'll add this with wyBuild 2.6.19.
I saw this post from nearly a year ago and the much needed fix is not yet available?Is there an update as to when this will be ready?
It's coming the next version. In the meantime you can create shortcuts from a batch file.
