hi,
we would like to change our existing executable file name from A.exe to B.exe. Currently, A.exe is being used in more than 100 locations so asking our clients to uninstall and install the new B.exe will be problematic.
can you kindly give me a step-by-step procedure on how to change the shortcut in the desktop, start menu, etc to "point" to B.exe instead of A.exe?
Thank you
Add your new version like you would any other time (A.exe will be missing and B.exe will be added). Also, make sure your old versions in wyBuild have the "current" shortcuts to the desktop,start menu, and wherever else.
Then, in the new version, make the new shortcuts point to the new exe.
Pretty easy. Does that make sense?
hi sam thanks for the reply
"make sure your old versions in wyBuild have the "current" shortcuts to the desktop,start menu, and wherever else" << this is the part where im pretty dumbfounded since i havent used this before, where do i set this?
if i have an existing desktop and start menu shortcut that points to A.exe, is there a way to "overwrite" it to point it to B.exe or should i just delete it and create another shortcut?
thanks for being patient

Right click your "A.exe" in wyBuild, click Create Shortcut. Rename it to whatever your installer named it. Then drag the shortcut file to the Desktop. Do the same for the start menu (if you also have a shortcut there).
Do that for all your old versions.
Then for your new versions, do it for "B.exe".
Does that clarify things?
thanks sam! that did the trick.
