OpenBuildings Designer Connect silent install

I created a /layout file for OpenBuildings Designer 10.09.00.83, and checked on the option to create a desktop shortcut. But when running the install that is generated by the layout, no desktop shortcut is created.

I opened the .lyt file and see that the value in the Desktop Shortcut configuration item is blank. But changing the value to yes does not help either.

<Property Id="InstallDesktopShortcut" Value="" Type="String" />

What do we have to do to get this feature to work?

It seems like the same issue we had with OpenRoads silent install

  • I did not use that method you link to.

    From command prompt, I type the name of the downloaded exe along with the /layout parameter. This opens the layout creation wizard. I check the option to enable a Desktop Shortcut (by default this is not checked). Completing the layout wizard creates a folder with the software in it, along with a lyt file that specifies all the automated install options. Install the software from this layout folder by simply running the Setup program from that folder. It installs, but no desktop shortcut is created. So it seems like that desktop shortcut option doesn't work.
