Hi Rafael, This is one of those cases when keypath is very important. Target of the shortcut in advertised shortcut is the keypath of the component. When you don't specify the keypath for your component (as in the sample below), WiX will select first file as a keypath. Hence the behavior you're experiencing. To fix it, just add KeyPath="yes" to a file you want to be a target of shortcut.

Upon building of my MSI with the following snippet, the shortcut gets created but points to file02. <Component Id="ComponentA" Guid="GUID"> <File Id="0002" Source="file02" /> <File Id="0001" Source="file01"> <Shortcut Id="shortcut01" Advertise="yes" Directory="StartMenuFolder" Name="Shortcut" /> </File> </Component> If I ensure my Files, with Shortcut children, are placed first, the problem doesn't occur. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
