Hi,
I'm trying to create shortcut to some arbitrary folder, that is not the part of
installation package tree. It can be, for example c:\windows or d:\temp.
Second, I have to create the shortcut in two new Windows 7 known folders:
Documents and Favorites - not IE Favorites, but Explorer Favorites which is
located in %USERPROFILE%\Links. I encountered two problems: 1. Wix doesn't
allow to use the target if this target is not part of installation package
tree. Second, I cannot find constants corresponding to new Win 7 known folders.
Here is the extract of wix script:
<DirectoryRef Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder">
<Component Id="ApplicationShortcut"
Guid="CE8F1AB5-9992-4CA5-B9D0-AE46BFDCA1DB">
<Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut"
Name="My Application Name"
Description="My Application Description" Target="d:\temp"
Directory="FavoritesFolder"
WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY" />
<RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer"
Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
FavoritesFolder referenced here is resolved int IE favorites and not into Win 7
known folder Favorites. Target="d:\temp" causes linkage error.
Also, I would ask the more general question: How to create shortcut to some
arbitrary folder under another arbitrary folder inside wix script. For example
how to create shortcut for d:\aaa directory under d:\bbb directory. Neither aa
nor bb are part of installation package tree.
Thanks for help,
Maxim
