Is it possible to script an install to only do the Office client, and not include start menu shortcuts to data collection? We’ve got a great team of volunteers for testing upgrades and customizations, but we constantly get the question ‘Which one do I use?’. All of these users just use the office client.
How do we prevent that?
Or automate deleting those shortcuts?
he best you can do is use Robocopy or another tool to copy the files to the client location from an existing install and then copy the shortcuts to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Epicor Software/
or
the alternative is write a small script to delete the unnecessary shortcuts. You would also have to do that to the desktop folder if you are deploying that.
Of course you could go all DFS and do it that way too.
