Use cx-freeze to create an msi that adds a shortcut to the desktop

问题:

I am using cx-freeze to create an MSI installer for a Python application. How can I install a link to the application from the desktop?

To create a shortcut to the application, give the shortCutName and shortcutDir options to the Executable. The shortcutDir can name any of the System Folder Properties (thanks Aaron). For example:

from cx_Freeze import *  setup(     executables = [         Executable(             "MyApp.py",             shortcutName="DTI Playlist",             shortcutDir="DesktopFolder",             )         ]     )

You can also add items to the MSI Shortcut table. This lets you create multiple shortcuts and set the working directory (the "start in" setting of the shortcut).

from cx_Freeze import *  # http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371847(v=vs.85).aspx shortcut_table = [     ("DesktopShortcut",        # Shortcut      "DesktopFolder",          # Directory_      "DTI Playlist",           # Name      "TARGETDIR",              # Component_      "[TARGETDIR]playlist.exe",# Target      None,                     # Arguments      None,                     # Description      None,                     # Hotkey      None,                     # Icon      None,                     # IconIndex      None,                     # ShowCmd      'TARGETDIR'               # WkDir      )     ]  # Now create the table dictionary msi_data = {"Shortcut": shortcut_table}  # Change some default MSI options and specify the use of the above defined tables bdist_msi_options = {'data': msi_data}  setup(     options = {         "bdist_msi": bdist_msi_options,     },     executables = [         Executable(             "MyApp.py",             )         ]     )
