GOAL:
How to limit what icons get created on a client system in a NetSetup installation?
GOAL:
What defines what icons get created during a NetSetup installation?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
A NetSetup installation uses a remote installation file called the shared.ini which is located in the root of the Progress / OpenEdge installation directory.
Within this file is a section named [Icons].
Example:
[Icons]

Copy the file to preserve the original installation list.
Example:
copy shared.ini to orig-shared.ini
Edit the shared.ini.
Remove entries that are unwanted.
The names of the icons that will be created are the first field of each line in the icon section.
Example:
The Help icon is designated as Help=hh.exe c:\dlc102b\prohelp\masteng.chm?c:\dlc102b\prohelp?
The Data Dictionary icon is designated as Data Administration=c:\dlc102b\bin\prowin32.exe -p _admin.p?c:\progtemp\wrk102b?c:\dlc102b\gui\adeicon\admin%.ico
When these are removed and the file is saved, the next Netsetup installation from this modified shared.ini will only create those icons which remain in the icons section.
