It is the KeyPath for the component containing the shortcut. See Ilya's answer for that. Shortcuts cannot (unfortunately) be KeyPaths and there is an ICE test that more-or-less demands that shortcut's have an HKCU registry as their keypath. The content of the registry doesn't matter, so use your content instead of the "1" in the example.

Is the Name (="installed") relevant or can i take every name (e.g. wxs_installed) ? I ask, because my tool has a registry entry, with same name (but string) and different content. So i must change the one or the other to avoid a conflict... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
