Re: [WiX-users] Non-advertised Shortcuts

Hi Oliver,

You need to create a component with:

-  Registry key in HKCU which is a keypath of the component;

-  Shortcut.

You can find more explanation and example here:

Regards,
Alex

Subject: [WiX-users] Non-advertised Shortcuts

Dear all,

I've been experiencing a problem with WiX shortcuts.
For reasons I won't go into now I need to use non-advertised shortcuts to 
reference my executables (a shortcut with an absolute target)
However, When compiling I get the following error:
error LGHT0204 : ICE43: Component ShortcutComponnent has non-advertised 
shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.

How would I go about setting this registry key as I cannot find any references 
to this on the internet anywhere.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Oliver Fairfoul
