No more than one target of Start menu or Desktop shortcut Do not specify more than one file per component as a target for the Start menu or a Desktop shortcut (per Organizing Applications into Components). Testability: scan shortcut and directory tables for Start menu or a Desktop shortcut targets. Make sure no component has more than one Start menu or a Desktop shortcut target. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ward, Mike (MED US) Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 2:03 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Shortcuts and components The following yields two shortcuts. Both shortcuts open CRC.ReportDesigner.exe which is not desired. <Component Id="ReportBinaryComponents" Guid="AE8E1085-2F1A-43ce-B167-7A4E4888AFA1"> <File Id="CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Name="CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Source="$(var.SourcePath)\CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Vital="yes" > <Shortcut Id="CRC.ReportDesignerShortcut" Name="sD Report Designer 7.0" Icon="AppIcon.exe" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" WorkingDirectory="Bin" Advertise="yes" /> </File> <File Id="CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Name="CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Source="$(var.SourcePath)\CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Vital="yes"> <Shortcut Id="CRC.TemplateImporterShortcut" Name="sD Template Importer 7.0" Icon="AppIcon.exe" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" WorkingDirectory="Bin" Advertise="yes" /> </File> </Component> If I separate the files/shortcuts into separate components, then each shortcut points to the correct executable. <Component Id="ReportDesignerComponent" Guid="6FD60D0A-01A4-4be1-A432-A82A1B90325E"> <File Id="CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Name="CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Source="$(var.SourcePath)\CRC.ReportDesigner.exe" Vital="yes" > <Shortcut Id="CRC.ReportDesignerShortcut" Name="sD Report Designer 7.0" Icon="AppIcon.exe" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" WorkingDirectory="Bin" Advertise="yes" /> </File> </Component> <Component Id="TemplateImporterComponent" Guid="6D3A0812-4882-4ae1-B1D1-9ED46503D667"> <File Id="CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Name="CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Source="$(var.SourcePath)\CRC.TemplateImporter.exe" Vital="yes"> <Shortcut Id="CRC.TemplateImporterShortcut" Name="sD Template Importer 7.0" Icon="AppIcon.exe" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" WorkingDirectory="Bin" Advertise="yes" /> </File> </Component> Is this expected behavior? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- This message and any included attachments are from Siemens Medical Solutions and are intended only for the addressee(s).
