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?
