Well, looks I'm not quite done yet.
After I use my dialog to change shortcut location folder, the shortcuts, and
folder are not removed on uninstall.
It's like installer does not know that shortcuts are in a different folder
now.
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
<Directory Id="PROGRAMMENUVENDOR" Name="$(var.Vendor)">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="!(loc.ProductName)">
<Component Id="RemoveShortcutFolders"
Guid="{B1055156-B6FF-4cc0-A289-9F9D40746A4A}" >
<RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuExeDir"
Directory="ProgramMenuDir" On="uninstall" />
<RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuVendor"
Directory="PROGRAMMENUVENDOR" On="uninstall" />
<RegistryKey Id='ProgramMenuRegistry' Root='HKCU'
Key='Software\$(var.Vendor)\$(var.ProductName)'
Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Component Id="main_exe" Guid="....." DiskId="13">
<File Id="main_exe" Name="main.exe" Source="C:\main.exe"
KeyPath="yes" Compressed="yes">
<Shortcut Id="MainExecutableStartupShortcut"
Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="!(loc.ProductName)"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" Icon="main.exe" IconIndex="0"
Advertise="yes" />
<Shortcut Id="MainExecutableDesktop" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="!(loc.ProductName)" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"
Icon="main.exe" IconIndex="0" Advertise="yes" />
</File>
</Component>
In my location selection dialog I'm changing PROGRAMMENUVENDOR folder. It
all works fine and shortcuts are installed in the right location, but not
uninstalled.
Do I need to define ProgramMenuDir as a public property: PROGRAMMENUDIR?
