I am trying to create menu and desktop shortcuts which are named
dynamically by the installer. In other words, suppose I have a
property called INSTANCE_NAME, I would like to be able to include
Name="[INSTANCE_NAME]" in my <Shortcut> element. The problem is that,
unlike other attributes, the "Name" attribute interprets
"[INSTANCE_NAME]" as literal text rather than a variable.
Windows Installer doesn't support that -- because shortcuts end up as
files on the file system, they must be declared. You might be able to
create the shortcut in a private directory and copy it to the shortcut
folder but I haven't tried it.
