Why of course not! :) I read a thread or 2 related to
that little speed bump too.
I went from ...

this ICE validation thing.

ICE validation yet ... see a little too much bantering back and forth about what
is "passing ICE validation". I'm too much of a newbie

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Cicerone Are you using
advertised or non-advertised shortcuts? Did your MSI pass ICE
validation? From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Williamson Based on an earlier email
reply (8/1/2006 subject=Shortcuts) from Derek. In this reply Derek
suggested that shortcuts should not always be defined under the
<File> but independently because shortcuts and ALLUSERS don't always
coexist in a manner that makes sense. Some relevant facts on the
*.wxs: Wix being used = v2
(wix_2.0.3719.0) Install sets ALLUSERS property to
1. Product ID and Package ID are
changed with each release. and
<InstallExecuteSequence> So I took all my shortcuts out from
within the <File> elements and placed them within their own component
elements. When this new MSI is run on a workstation that has any previous
install on it the old shortcuts (desktop and startmenu) are left on the machine
along side the new shortcuts. Why were the old shortcuts not
removed? Dave Williamson |
