Among many perfectly fine working shortcut defs I have the one below (strings modified to protect the innocent, but length of strings is preserved) <Shortcut Id="SHORT_MessageCenterShortcut" Name="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notification Center" Description="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notification Center" Target="[MANUFACTURERFOLDER]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.exe" Icon="NCIcon.ico" /> When hovering over the menu entry it creates, the hint displayed should be xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notification Center What is displayed, however, is this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notification Center xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notification Center Twice the same line in a dual line hint window. The issue seems to be string length related - when I shorten the Name string to 30 characters, things work as expected. Any string as long as the one above (or longer) results in this strange behavior. Looks like a buffer overrun or sorts..? Not sure if Windows or WIX is the culprit. If it turns out to be Windows, it would be nice if WIX could issue at least a warning. Have other people seen this? Thanks, Kai
