Hi, I'm trying to create shortcut on desktop to shortcut folder in the Start Menu. But after I try the installation, the shortcut has only generic file icon and when clicked it opens "Open With" dialog.
When I open the shortcut's properties dialog and try change it's icon and close the properties dialog with the OK button everyhting starts to work as expected. I'm using WiX 3.0.5419 and testing on Windows XP SP3. <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"> <Directory Id="Shortcuts"> <Component Id="ShortcutsRemove" Guid="d417f0a4-3375-4506-a571-5bcd0611dec3"> <RemoveFolder Id="ProgramsFolder" On="uninstall" /> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Fine" Name="Shortcuts" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> <Directory Id="DesktopFolder"> <Component Id="Folder.pif" Guid="9ca28040-2b49-434c-a130-7ea7e52931d2"> <Shortcut Id="Folder.pif" Name="$(var.ShortcutFolderName)" Description="$(var.PackageComments)" Target="[Shortcuts]" /> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Fine" Name="Folder.pif" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> Can you please help me create shortcut on Dektop to our shortcuts folder? It should have the Windows default shortcuts folder icon and it should be installed for "All Users". When I tried to change the HKCU root to HKLM Candle throws many errors...
