Re: [WiX-users] WiX 2.0.5805.0 to WiX 3.8.1128.0 - shortcuts have changed

IIRC WiX 2.0 didn¹t do ICE validation so you probably had the warning just didn¹t know you did. Neil Context is a migration of a WiX 2.0.5805.0 solution to WiX 3.8.1128.0. Seemed to be working through the compiler and linker errors one by one just fine until I hit ICE38 regarding shortcuts.

I did some tests on multiple ways to handle shortcuts a few months ago: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=31481614 I didn't really get any authoritative answer on whether my findings are correct or what option is better, though. -- Nicolás Leave it to Microsoft to make
