(finished question) Sorry, I accidentally sent before done typing. My google skills are failing me, and thought people here might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm charged with producing a new installer for a product using WiX. The application architecture is that of a bare-bones shell that 1) reads the name of a configuration file from the command line, then 2) reads in a list of .NET assemblies to load from the configuration file. The shortcuts in the old installer are something that I've seen before, but have never looked into understanding. They're different from right clicking on the executable and creating a shortcut from the windows explorer. When I right click and look at the shortcut properties window: On the "Shortcut" tab: "Target Location" is blank. The "Target" edit box is greyed out (disabled), and doesn't show the command-line parameters. The "Find Target..." and "Change Icon..." buttons are greyed out (disabled). The "Compatibility" tab doesn't exist. What kind of shortcut am I looking at, and how does one produce something like this in WiX? Thanks for putting up with my ignorance. :) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
