Hi Sascha, Thanks for your tip.
I thought about using wix variable to set the name. However, the version number will be changed for every build. And I don't know if there is a varialbe for product version, so that I can refer it, instead of using fix string. If I define the variable like: <?define version = [ProductVersion] ?> And set shortcut name as: <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcutMyAPP" Name="MyAPP$(var.version)"... When I install it, the shortcut shown on the desktop is: MyAPP[ProductVersion] Instead of MyAPP1.0.0.1 How can I set it?

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] How to change shortcut name? Have you thought about using a wix variable to set the shortcut name at compile time, rather than at runtime? i.e. Shortcut/@Name="MyAPP $(var.version)" Sascha On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 6:30 PM, Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) <chunyan.ji...@ge.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have defined the shortcut like this: > > <DirectoryRef Id="ShortcutFolder"> > > <Component Id="DesktopShortcut" > Guid="D9DFCBA6-C98F-4146-87D9-C4F83349C8EC"> > > <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcutMyAPP" Name="MyAPP" > Directory="DesktopFolder" Target="[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/MyAPP.exe" > WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" /> > > <RemoveFolder Id="DesktopFolderVPAdmin" On="uninstall" /> > > <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyAPP" > Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" /> > > </Component> > > </DirectoryRef> > > > > However, I want to give the shortcut another name, like MyAPP 1.0.0.1, > which is the version number.
