GPP Shortcuts - open Chrome x86 or x64

[gsk]

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for a way to set up GPP Shortcuts for Chrome so that it will open regardless of whether it is the x86 version or x64 version of Chrome that is installed.

 

While we're on the subject, is there a way to make a 'Word' Shortcut open whichever version of Word is installed whether its 2016, 2019 or 2021?

 

Thanks,

I use junction points to make this work. For 64 bit machines, I use a startup script with the following command:

 

mklink /J "c:\program files (x86)\google\chrome" "c:\program files\google\chrome"

Item Level Targetting, using the 'File Match' item, should work for both of your questions.

Deploy this shorcut if this file is present.

Thanks. I used to do this when we first moved to 64 bit systems. I'd forgotten about that.

This is great and is what I've done. Much tidier. Thanks.

I'd suggest putting something in the description to show that ITL is being used - I also include who its targetting.
