Yes, the installation runs fine but doesn't create the folders in the Start
Menu at all. I manage now to change the source to the following:
<File Id="ReleaseNotes" Name="Dot Net SDK Release Notes.doc"
Source="$(var.TrunkComponentRelease)\Dot Net SDK Release Notes.doc" >
<Shortcut Id="NewShortcut3" Directory="ProgramMenuFolder1"
LongName="NewShortcut3" Name="NewShort" Advertise="yes" Show="normal"/>
<!--Shortcut Id="adguide" Directory="DashMenuDir"
Name="AdGuide"
LongName="Agilent Business Dashboard Admin
Guide"
WorkingDirectory="manuals"
Advertise="yes"
/-->
</File>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="PMFolder">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder1" Name="MyProduct" />
</Directory>
but I received the following error:
Error 17 ICE64: The directory ProgramMenuFolder1 is in the user profile
but
is not listed in the RemoveFile table.
D:\BlackDeath\SuperSolution\WixDotNetSDK\WixDotNetSDKRelease.wxs 240

Thanks,
Erich.
