Hi, This still has not been resolved.
My shortcut is nested under the file, with advertise 'yes' and the file is set as the key file. The shortcut is created OK however the icon is not correct until the first time the shortcut is followed. If I change to advertise="no" I'm told I can't have it under a file element. That makes no sense to me, if Advertise is yes I am forced to put it under a file element, even though it doesnt nessisarily use the file element I put it under....???? If I don't wont to advertise so I can make it use a "specific file"... then I can't put it under a file element. So I remove it from the file element and add a target attribute.... And Get..... ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: Shortcut, Column: Target, .. ICE43: Component ProductComponent has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. ICE57: Component 'ProductComponent' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath. Can someone please post an example of creating a shortcut to a file for the current user that has the correct Icon from the start. If this is not possible with WiX3 then please let us know.
