Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut creation seems to cause sxs assembly error in Event Viewer

We have some advertises and some that are not. I'll have to check if the apps to the shortcuts that are advertised are the only ones that produce sxs in the event viewer during installs. If so then I'll check to see what happens if I turn advertisement off. Thanks. -- View this message in conte

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut creation seems to cause sxs assembly error in Event Viewer

Are the shortcuts advertised or not? The behavior of CreateShortCuts is different in the advertised/non-advertised cases. If the shortcut is advertised it's basically a pointer to the keypath of the component, and that will result in a call to MsiProvideComponent () if it's used. It's not advertis

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut creation seems to cause sxs assembly error in Event Viewer

Yes that is basically what InstallShield is doing and again the only reason that we are still supporting this is that we still have administrators that push out our software by .msi only and therefore we had to support a multi .msi package so that they only had to push out a single .msi file instea

I don't know if this comment relates to your concern, but, after some experimentation, I have interpreted the last paragraph in Remarks, at the following link to indicate that my Icon/@Id should be formated with an extension which is the same as the file which the shortcut targets. So even though

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut creation seems to cause sxs assembly error in Event Viewer

No we are not doing nested installs. Since Wix does not support an admin chain install that creates a output .msi we are using InstallShield to create our chain installs to chain all out wix install projects. We have quite a few wixlib 32 bit assemblies that we create to that gets installed and ar
