Fixed. Made the File element for the nested shortcut the KeyPath and changed the name of the shortcut property - and the icons are appearing correctly now. Not 100% sure if this was a WiX or Windows 7 issue.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Windows 7 Something's different - the Pin to TaskBar and Pin to Start Menu options are not appearing when the shortcut is 'right clicked' either. I've always used advertised shortcuts in WiX - usually nested inside the file element for the target - and have not created the HKCU key registry entry for the software. Confess I was never entirely sure why the HKCU entry was required for an installation targeted at all users. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Bouch [mailto:anth...@abouch.com] Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2009 7:44 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WiX and Windows 7 Hi All I've just upgraded a dev box here to Windows 7 RC 7100 Also downloaded the latest WiX binaries. I have a WiX project file - which creates two shortcuts - one under Programs Menu in the Application Folder, and one on the Desktop. These are 'advertised' shortcuts - nested within a File element. The Icon element is included in the project and correctly references the application icon. WiX builds fine as before. The installer works fine as well - all ok - with one minor problem. After installation - the shortcut icons are showing up as the 'plain white' page icons (without the icon art from the .ico file). That is until another program installer was run (a commercial installer from another product altogether). Then suddenly the shortcut icons from my installer appeared correctly - no longer the 'plain white' page icon - but the correct icon art for the application. Any ideas? Is this a WiX issue? Windows 7 issue? Does the MSI need to trigger an icon cache refresh after install? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
