I know. Out of 10 CABS, OEMizer only was able to create 1 OEM for me. I've been using Ervius Package creator but I haven't quite gotten the hang of the shortcut creation and I can't find any good documentation. They options are there, but I'm just not sure how to use them.

But I've only created a dozen ROMS today.. so I'm just getting warmed up. LOL

Figured it out... well at least I created the OEM with a working link. Still have some questions for rstoyguy guy..... like, do the links HAVE TO BE created in the Ervius Package Creator????

No, single .exe OEMs I do create them there. More complicated OEM's like memmaid I copied the .lnk files from the device into the OEM and manually added them to initflashfiles.txt.

Aha! I think I got it. I was trying to create the links within the OEM and it would just link to the EXE in the same OEM folder.

I made another OEM for VisualGPS and I'm going to TRY and force the shortcut into my \Programs\GPS Navigation\ folder. We'll see if I got this down.

Well I think I understand how to manipulate program groups and shortcuts now... manually. But I sure don't the options in Package Creator. Unless I select "Default" I seem to always get a duplicate link error. So I just select default and then go into initflashfiles and move the link where I want it.

To create LNK files manually:
Create an empty txt file:
-File--> New --> Text Document
Name the file eg "MusicID.lnk" ( windows should complain about changing the extension)
Open Notepad:
Start--> Run --> notepad
Drag & Drop LNK file into notepad, enter the following:

36#"\Program Files\MusicID\MusicID.exe"

36 = Total # of characters in path, including quotes, seems ok if this is more that total... not sure of effects.

Then just copy that file as normal in initflashfiles.txt

Thanks. Well at least there is a way! But I'm starting to question why I am doing this.
