 Description  « Hide

When installation is run using a userless environment (for example, unattended install using the SYSTEM or LocalService accounts), shortcut creation fails, even if createForAll="true" is specified in shortcutSpec.xml. This happens because the code does not expect the currentUsersLinkPath to be null ever (even if not necessary afterwards).

Stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.izforge.izpack.util.os.ShellLink.setAllLinkPaths(ShellLink.java:1147)

An easy one to fix.

Fixed the potential NullPointer in ShellLink.java, however the reporter will now most likely encounter IZPACK-50 when attempting to install.
