I don't know why it wouldn't be possible. Advertised shortcuts are one of the entry points for repair, and I'm pretty sure repair works fine on per user installs.
The process is a potential repair - the shortcut checks that the component target is there, and if not installs it and repairs the parent feature. If it happens to have been a per machine install and another user is now using the product, the repair will see that (for example) a file in user's application data doesn't exist, so it gets installed for that user, the install-on-demand thing. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 7:03 AM, Wesley Manning <wmann...@dynagen.ca> wrote: > Can you use advertised shortcuts in a per user install that installs to a per > user location (e.g. LocalAppDataFolder).
