Create a file in windows

[Guest]

hey,
As a part of my deployment i want to create a 4 line bat file and type the lines that will enter there.
then, i want to create a shortcut of the file to the desktop.

in every deployment that file should be ran over off course.

what is the best practice to do this?

Product: BuildMaster
Version: 4.9.4

You're definitely on the right track... you want to use the Create File Action.

That error means that either the agent doesn't have access to the folder, or that you're trying to create a file where a folder already exists.
