Thanks for chiming in with that, Bill. I think it was an improvement. At least it changed two of the errors to be different errors. I'm now getting: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'DesktopShortcut' is Directory: 'INSTALLDIR'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table. ICE43: Component DesktopShortcut has non-advertized shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. ICE57: Component 'DesktopShortcut' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath. ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry 'DesktopShortcut' of the Shortcut table belongs to component 'DesktopShortcut'. However, the formatted string in column 'Target' references file 'Life_Balance.exe' which belongs to component 'MainApplication'. Components are in the same feature. The last error seems to indicate that Light is beginning to understand what I'm trying to do, but does not approve of it. Is it perhaps only legal for a shortcut in one component to refer to another if the two components are in different features? Is that what it's trying to say? Thanks, --Stuart A.
