I ultimately want to install the main program with all the dlls on the
server side, then be able to run the client install that adds the shortcuts
on the desktop and all the other appropriate places that points to the
single main executable on the server.
I am running a component search to search for a pre-existing executable in
order to append the shortcuts to it. The client install will work fine if I
install it from the same machine that installed the main program. However,
when I switch to another computer and try to run the client install, it
isn't finding the component. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Here is my search.
<Property Id="SEARCH">
<ComponentSearch Id="Executable"
Guid="D986E82B-3377-4ee5-8ECA-2CA84AAB408C">
<FileSearch Id="FILE" LongName="BirdDogWM.exe"/>
</ComponentSearch>
</Property>
This is where I call it.
<Component Id='FileLink' Guid='{4D3AB1D9-9138-47db-A932-A404F3D24EBD}'>
<Shortcut Id="startmenuBirdDog" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="BirdDog"
Advertise="no"
LongName="Web Manager" Icon="WebManager.exe" IconIndex="0"
Target="[SEARCH]"/>
<Shortcut Id="desktopWebManager" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="BirdDog"
Advertise="no"
LongName="Web Manager" Icon="WebManager.exe" IconIndex="0"
Target="[SEARCH]"/>
</Component>
