The errors you are getting (ICE47 & ICE57) are from the tests Microsoft developed to help ensure that MSI databases are both internally consistent and able to be serviced under all sorts of conditions, like turning per-machine installations into per-user ones.
<rant> Yes, I said, turn a per-machine installation into a per-user one. Those two tests ensure that shortcuts will still work if someone creates a command-line to msiexec that will clear your ALLUSERS property you set in your Property table. The tests don't verify your ALLUSERS property handling, they don't verify your platform testing (they still give warnings related to creating packages for Win9x systems, even if you mark your MSI for v4.5), etc. Some of those tests are so inane that they should be banned or rewritten. </rant> However, they are still very necessary in order to prevent many serious issues that many even expensive commercial products commit on a daily basis that tend to be easily fixable and do much to degrade the user experience of the Windows platform for all of us. Because of that, they are mandatory for Logo compliance. I would recommend moving your shortcuts into their own components (out of the components containing the files they point to). Then you can add the registry entries and RemoveFile elements Rob mentions in this blog: http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2007/4/27/How-to-create-an-uninstall-shor tcut-and-pass-all-the -----Original Message----- From: Hotmail Acc [mailto:rpat...@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 2:22 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Need a Good Template or GUI designer Basically I am looking for a good working sample which has the following items:- 1) Customizable UI (allow users to select Installdir, single/all user option, licence dialog etc) 2) do both com and .net dll registration. 3) Add some dlls into GAC and into files InstallDir, commonappdata 4) Add values to registry. 5) IIS virtually directory creation. 6) Integrate an already existing c# code which does pre-req checks. 8)Add shortcuts to desktop, startmenu, programmenu. 7) Perform some onEnd actions.

The current information that is available on the web is not helpful. It is getting kinda frustrating. Is it possible to get a template or a GUI designer or a more real world sample which can be used as a starting point? The samples in the tutorials are quite simple. I tried WIX Installar 3.0 project but was not successful in compiling the code on my dev box. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
