This is what I do. Basically make a shortcut to internet explorer and
pass the web address as the argument. I do it this way so that it
always opens another instance of ie when you use the shortcut instead of
opening it the current window. This was a big problem with ie6.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="INTERNETEXPLORER" Name="Internet Explorer" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="WebShortcutComp"
Guid="{32CFB0AF-709A-4a05-A52E-6EDE55D673A1}">
<RegistryKey Id="WebClientShortCutRegKey" Action="create"
Root="HKCU" Key="SOFTWARE\Clearview\Server\WebClientShortcut" />
<CreateFolder />
<Shortcut Id="WebShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="Clearview Web Client" WorkingDirectory="INTERNETEXPLORER"
Arguments="http://[SITENAME]/clearview"; Target="[SHORTCUTDIR]"
Icon="WebIcon.ico">
<Icon Id="WebIcon.ico"
SourceFile="$(sys.CURRENTDIR)..\lib\Clearview.ico" />
</Shortcut>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>

Something like this should work:
<!-- To create a shortcut to an non-installed item it must be a
property -->
<Property Id="TUTORIAL" Value="http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix"; />
<!-- Create a shortcut to the WiX tutorial -->
<Shortcut Id="WiXTutorial" Name="WiXTut" LongName="WiX Tutorial"
Description="WiX Tutorial website" Directory="ResourcesGroup"
Target="[TUTORIAL]" />

Hi guys,
Does anyone can provide me an example of creating a shortcut which opens
IE7
with a set URL?
I've tried the following line, but it doesn't work.
<Shortcut Id="Shortcut8" Directory="BTFolderSDK" Name="More examples..."
WorkingDirectory="Root"
Target="http://xxx.com/Downloads/NET/tabid/122/Default.aspx";
Arguments="http://sdk.bt.com/Downloads/NET/tabid/122/Default.aspx"; />
Thanks,
Erich.
