I've got a package (written in WiX 2) that installs three shortcuts. New
request is for one shortcut to be conditional on a property. How do I make it
work?
I thought I'd make a new component (with condition on the component) and move
the shortcut into that, but that was too simplistic and I don't know what
KeyPath to use. I get "ICE50 ERROR Component 'GuiDesktopIcon' has an
advertised shortcut, but a null KeyPath" and the shortcut never installs. But
KeyPath="no" candle gives WiX err 118, and Advertized="no" gets validation
failure "ICE43 ERROR Component GuiDesktopIcon has non-advertised shortcuts. It
should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file" and
"ICE57 ERROR Component 'GuiDesktopIcon' has both per-user and per-machine data
with a per-machine KeyPath."
Is there a better way or can this easily be fixed? Here's my naive attempt:
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="EGHelper"
Guid="{53AE3744-C9AC-4DCB-A34B-CAA5803FCE1B}"
DiskId="1" Win64="$(env.MSI_WIN64)">
<File Id="EGHelper" Name="WSCMgr.exe" LongName="MyAppUI.exe"
KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes" Vital="yes"
ReadOnly="no" Hidden="no" System="no"
Source="..\..\windows_client_gui\MyAppUI.exe">
</File>
<Shortcut Id="EGMgrPMenu" Name="ConfWSPM" LongName="Application"
Directory="PMenuData" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Advertise="yes" Icon="Icon.exe"/>
<Shortcut Id="EGMgrStartup" Name="ConfWSSU" LongName="Application"
Directory="StartupFolder" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Advertise="yes" Icon="Icon.exe"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveData" Directory="PMenuData" On="uninstall"/>
</Component>
<Component Id="GuiDesktopIcon"
Guid="{E286D21E-A439-4627-ABA3-EB094D65F82A}"
DiskId="1" Win64="$(env.MSI_WIN64)" KeyPath="yes" >
<Shortcut Id="EGMgrDesktop" Name="ConfWSDT" LongName="Application"
Directory="DesktopFolder" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Advertise="yes" Icon="Icon.exe"/>
<Condition>
PUTDESKTOPICON
</Condition>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
In the working code the EGMgrDesktop shortcut is in the EGHelper component, and
there is no GuiDesktopIcon component.
Thanks for any advice.
