Installer needs to create shortcut/alias to exe after install on desktop.

Rewording summary. Setting milestone to M12. We need support in the Install object that parallels FileWinCreateShortcut(), maybe FileMacCreateAlias(). The core .xpi installer's install script needs to take advantage of this feature and that's a separate task.

Two new forms of the FileMacAlias are now supported in the Install object: // public int FileMacAlias( String aSourceFolder, // String aSourceFileName, // String aAliasFolder, // String aAliasName ); // where // aSourceFolder -- the installed file's folder from Get*Folder() APIs // aSourceName -- the installed file's name // aAliasFolder -- the folder of the new alias from Get*Folder() APIs // aAliasName -- the actual name of the new alias // // return codes are - Mac OSErr's bubbled up from NewAliasMinimal() // - Install.SUCCESS if alias was created and // public int FileMacAlias( String aSourcePath, // String aAliasPath ); // where // aSourcePath -- the full path to the installed file // aAliasPath -- the full path to the new alias // // return codes are - Mac OSErr's bubbled up from NewAliasMinimal() // - Install.SUCCESS if alias was created Will check in when tree reopens for regular development.

For an example see http://puma/xpinstall/test/trigger.html [select testcase Mac Alias] -or- http://puma/xpinstall/test/macalias.xpi

Fix checked in.

Build 1999-10-14-08-M11 Looks good.
