Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating desktop and start menu shortcuts
1)For the startmenu shortcut you need to list ProgramMenuDir into the RemoveFolder table. see the link: http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2007/4/27/How-to-create-an-uninstall- shortcut-and-pass-all-the 2) The purpose of creating a registry entry under HKCU is to use it as a keypath to keep ICE happy, but you have not set the keypath=Yes for both the registryValue elements. The code for shoortcut seems to be correct,depending on the directory hierarchy you are using. Target="[INSTALLOCATION]App.exe"> Is the App.exe present in the INSTALLLOCATION or some nested folder.?
