Thanks!
I'm not really sure that I'm clear of the implications of advertised or not, but setting @Advertise to yes makes it compile without error, and I get the shortcut when installing.. so for now I'm happy :)

See the validation references:"The attributes column of Component1 is 0, meaning that the component uses a file as its KeyPath. This causes non-advertised shortcuts in this component to be installed for the first user on the computer ONLY. Users who install the component later do not see the shortcuts because the component appear to the installer as already existing on the computer.To fix this error, set the RegistryKeyPath bit of the attributes to switch the Component to a Registry entry, then change the KeyPath value to a valid entry in the Registry table."
ICE 57, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">.
Still, that's not very helpful. It's odd that the shortcuts seem to be non-advertised by default: most other tools create advertised shortcuts, which invoke repair (potentially) when invoked. You could set @Advertise to 'yes', which would make these shortcuts advertised.

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately it did not work out, and I end up with the same error about KeyPath and HKCU registryC:\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.

So, I'm still out in the dark about what to do now.../SimonOn 9/19/06, Eric Epstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: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!
