André,
I have a very similar issue whereby Vista Logo testing automatically fails
any component that has more than one shortcut within it. As such I have
removed a shortcut from the component containing the app's main executable
and have created a new component that installs an LNK file (a copy of the
advertised shortcut) into the second location - the Desktop, for argument's
sake. The code looks like this...
<DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
<Component Id="DesktopSC" Guid="YOURGUID-????-????-????-????????????"
DiskId="1">
<Registry Root="HKMU"
Key="SOFTWARE\[Company]\[App]\[Version]\Install">
<Registry Name="DesktopSC" Value="1" Type="integer" />
</Registry>
<File Id="DesktopSC" Name="ShortCut.lnk" Compressed="yes"
src="Installs\ShortCut.lnk" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
The problem is that I now get a validation error in ICE57 thinking that the
"DesktopFolder" is a per-user location and that the "HKMU" keypath can be
either per-user or per-machine. Whereas, we all know that the
"DesktopFolder" will resolve to either a per-user or per-machine location
just as the "HKMU" keypath will - depending on the value of ALLUSERS.
The validation is very dumb, but Vista Logo relies upon it. I have a
workaround, but it's very untidy and I hate it... at the end of the day, the
"HKMU" keypath should satisfy validation's need for a keypath that matches
the component's per-user/per-machine state.
Regards,
Gareth
