Special Shortcuts Made by Office 2003 Installer don't Work

Hello,

Unfortunatelly, special shortcuts like those created by Office 2003 installer don't work from DOpus.

Tested with version 9.0.0.9

W0lfdale, see this thread about your issue:

Actually, you do have a point if this was going to be fixed in 9.0.0.9, but I'm not sure about that, the promise might have been for another new version yet to be released ...

Actually, the Release Notes quote is from v9.0.0.8

I get the same problem with the Office 2007 start menu items if I double-click them within Opus.

I'll talk to GPSoft and help them test/fix it.

If you need a workaround for now, it seems you can launch the shortcuts by holding Shift and right-clicking them, then selecting Open.

I am not having any problem with Office 2007 shortcuts using:

{apppath|WINWORD.EXE}WINWORD.EXE

Or am I missing something here?

Protocol, It's a different kind of shortcut that's only made by certain installers. If you bring up the Properties of it it just shows the application name in grey and cannot be edited.
