What I find immediately odd is that your sample shows single quotes around double quotes on the <Target/> attribute. I'm thinking it should be one or the other, but not both. Maybe it's correct, but it is different than the manual shows, too.

I have an application installer created for my app. Everything works except the shortcut. When I install, it does not place the shortcut in the start menu. Here's the code: <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"> <Directory Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Name="MyApp"> <Component Id="ApplicationShortcut" Guid="B3385D42-9FED-4CC2-8B29-7E874370095B"> <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut" Name="MyApp" Description="Start MyApp" Target='"[PROGRAMDIR]MyApp.exe"' WorkingDirectory="PROGRAMDIR" Icon="logo.ico" /> <RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall" /> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApp" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> And it's properly referenced in the <Feature> item. <ComponentRef Id="ApplicationShortcut" /> The code seems to be to the documentation (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_start_menu_shortcut.htm). What might be the problem? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
