Subject: [WiX-users] How can I create a shortcut or an executabe in a merge module? Dear All, We need to create a shortcut inside the application shortcut folder for an executable that exists in a merge module. I searched for a while in the Internet but did not find the exact information that I need. Currently I have the code below that does not work nor compile: <Icon Id="XL_PORTAL.ico" SourceFile=".\XL_PORTAL.ico" /> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="."> <Component Id="CreateRMPortalShortcut" Guid="{E5CB621F-12A9-4402-998A-175847E8DE9E}" KeyPath="no"> <Shortcut Id="PortalShortcut" Directory="MyProgramMenu" Name="SIM4ME Portal 2.1.1" Arguments="/progid=SimSci.RMAdapter.60 /regsubkey=Software\Simsci\ROMeo\6.0" Target="[PORTAL_PATH]bin\S4MWbCustomize.exe" Icon="XL_PORTAL.ico" Show="normal" WorkingDirectory="USER" Advertise="yes" /> </Component> If you know how to accomplish this, please let me.
