I am using Advanced Installer

to create the installer of my java desktop application, Looking for a solution to pin the main application shortcut to the task bar of window 7

Answer 1

O.D. is right, Microsoft does not recommend automatic pinning in the task bar for Win 7, this is why the feature was never implemented in Advanced Installer. However, pinning if possible programmatically, as you can see in the linked article. All you have to do is to add your code as a custom action at the end of the install process, so the shortcuts can be pinned after the installer creates them.
