[SOLVE] How do I make excutable icon of the mod?

I uninstalled and reinstalled DOW2 due to the migration work to my new SSD.

And by doing that, DOW2 Elite executable icon deleted as well.

No matter how many I un-reinstalling DOW2 and the Elite mod, the icon doesn't appear again so I can't play the mod any longer.

What should I do now :(

Go directly to your dow2 directory to the executable, right click it, select create short cut, and then put that short cut on your desk top.

It only starts the original DOW2, not the Elite mod.

Found this in my shortcuts target. Should just have to copy it. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 56400 -nomovies -modname Elite

Yay It works! Thanks for your help :D

And to the devs whoever reading this thread; Please add 'create a shortcut' option on the install wizard. A noob like me would go crazy when he/she lost the shortcut provided in the first installation. :lol:
