I already did a search on Wix in my registry with nothing standard found
to tell me where wix is actually installed. I will take another look
tonight.
(Wix is not a microsoft product, it's an open source project that
compiles an xml description of your installer into an MSI package). The
microsoft part is the installer engine that let you install MSI's on
target computers.
Sadly, Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts are not separated, so I need to
handle the case...
Same apply to uninstall entries.
so, we will need to append (64bits) to each shortcut or uninstall entry.
