PWA Install of Yammer, no desktop icon created

Hi,

 

We are trying to deploy Yammer to users through the PWA function of Edge.

Have updated the registry key: WebAppInstallForceList

 

and have added the string:

 

[{"create_desktop_shortcut":true,"default_launch_container":"window","url":"https://web.yammer.com"}]

 

The web application installs fine however it does not create the desktop icon, if you manually go into web app and select yammer and select create desktop icon it works. But we want to automate this process as we have 100's of users.

 

If there a reason the desktop icon will not automatically add using the function above?

 

Edge version 91.0.864.59 64-Bit.

 

Thank

 

Kevin

        Hi Kelly,

        That is brilliant, worked straight away on Canary, least I now know its a bug.

        Any plans of when this will be added to the official build?

        Thanks
