I've come across a slightly strange problem which hopefully someone may be
able to shed some light on.  As part of my installation I create a couple of
shortcuts under the ProgramMenuFolder directory.  Both shortcuts point to the
main executable; one has some additional parameters to invoke a configuration
wizard on start up.  As far as I can see, the declarations are virtually
identical and look like the following snippet: -

<Shortcut Name="!(loc.ProductShortcutName)" Id="ProgramMenuConsoleShortcut"
Description="!(loc.ProductShortcutDescription)"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"
Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]Exclaimer.Console.Host.exe"
Icon="Exclaimer.Console.Host.exe" Arguments="-p
67f3e891bc844b7b819f4ef468b8f1a7"/>

<Shortcut Name="!(loc.ProductConfigWizardShortcutName)"
Id="ProgramMenuConfigWizardShortcut"
Description="!(loc.ProductConfigWizardShortcutDescription)"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"
Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]Exclaimer.Console.Host.exe"
Icon="Exclaimer.Console.Host.exe" Arguments="/wizard" />

When the application is installed onto Windows Server 2008 64 bit, the
shortcuts appear in the correct place and function correctly.  However for
some reason, the tooltips that are displayed when you hover over the
shortcuts are slightly different.  The first shortcut tooltip shows only the
text contained in the description (which is what I would ideally want) and
the second shortcut tooltip shows both the name AND the description.

e.g. first one appears as : -

Starts the Exclaimer Mail Disclaimers console

And the second appear as : -

Exclaimer Mail Disclaimers Configuration Wizard
Starts the Exclaimer Mail Disclaimers Configuration Wizard

Can anyone shed any light as to what might be going on?

Thanks,

Nick Hall
