If you are migrating to WiX, please try using dark on your MSI files. The WiX 3.0 dark.exe should be especially accurate for the conversion.
Beyond that, the authoring below nests a Shortcut under a component, which creates a shortcut to the folder of the component. To create a shortcut to a file instead, nest the shortcut under the File element. Derek -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared McIntyre Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 10:02 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problem with Shortcuts I'm migrating to WiX/Windows Installer from another solution. I have the application shortcut in the ProgramMenuDir working correctly, but we had other files in there in the old item, including another executable shortcut. I can't get these to work. They all show up as links to the ProgramMenuDir directory itself, and not the file. Here is an example? <Component Id='License' Guid='43b0a1cc-cda5-4d19-8986-efcceedf3a4b'> <File Id='License' Name='License.rtf' DiskId='1' src='License.rtf' Vital='yes' ReadOnly="yes"/> <Shortcut Id="startmenuLicense" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="License" LongName="License.rtf" Icon="License.rtf" IconIndex="0" /> </Component> Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
