The `Shortcut`.`Name` field is not a formatted field. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Hellwig Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 8:54 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [ProductName] not replaced in Shortcut Name Well I used [ProductName] like it is used in the WiXUI localization files. Everywhere else it works correct. Just in the shortcut it isn't replaced correctly. in the .wxl file i've got this: <String Id="Test_UninstallLinkTitle" Overridable="yes">Uninstall [ProductName]</String> <String Id="Test_UninstallLinkDescription" Overridable="yes">Removes [ProductName] from your computer.</String> and in my .wxs file i've got this: <Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct_all" Name="!(loc.Test_UninstallLinkTitle) " Target="[System32Folder]msiexec.exe" Arguments="/x {$(var.TEST_PRODUCT_CODE)}" Directory="Test_startmenu_subfolder" Description="!(loc.Test_UninstallLinkDescription)" /> any idea why the [ProductName] isn't replaced for the shortcut?
