I have a lib file that contains a bunch of files and a desktop shortcut to
one of the binaries.  I then have my (product.wxs) main installation XML
file.  My project has a reference to the lib file. It all compiles and links
perfectly. (My MSI is perfectly functional at this point)

 

BUT:

 

If I remove the section that contains the info to create the desktop
shortcut and move it to the Product.wxs, everything still compiles and links
without errors, but the content of my lib file is completely ignored.  My
msi goes from 30MB to 900KB.

 

Question: Should I be able to take the shortcut section out of my lib file
and put it in my main wxs file?  The reason I want to do this is the binary
name installed will always be the same but the name to the desktop shortcut
is set later through a variable in a WXI (The contents of the lib remain,
but the shortcut name can change depending on who builds the package) file
which is referenced in the product.wxs file.

 

Hopefully this question is clear enough.

 

Thanks for the Advice

Marc
