Thanks, I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately it did not work out, and I end up with the same error about KeyPath and HKCU registry
C:\Users\Simon\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ComicBook\ComicBook\installer\installer.wxs(35): error LGHT0204: ICE43: Component ComicBookExecutable has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.
C:\Users\Simon\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ComicBook\ComicBook\installer\installer.wxs(35): error LGHT0204: ICE57: Component 'ComicBookExecutable' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath.
0 Warning(s)
2 Error(s)
So, I'm still out in the dark about what to do now...

Simon,
I am new to using WiX too, but I just got some help from the list, so
I think I will try to give back.
I think your first attempt is really close.
I think that all you need to add is the following line
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"/>
after your
<Directory Id=" TARGETDIR" Name=" SourceDir">
and before your
<Directory Id=" ProgramFilesFolder" Name=" PFiles">
"ProgramMenuFolder" is a special (reserved/magic) name
(check out
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
)
but it seems like you still need to define it in your .wxs file in a
<Directory> tag so that your reference to it in your <shortcut> tag
will pick up properly.
If adding the <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"/> doesn't work for
you, then either a) I am a n00b too :-) , b) perhaps it has something
to do with Vista X64, c) something else. :-(
Good Luck!
