I create a shortcut on the fallowing way: <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="MANUFACTURER_DIR" Name="xxx"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="yyy" FileSource="..\..\Project\output"> <Component Id="yyy.exe" Guid="{.....}"> <File Id="yyy.exe" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" Checksum="yes"> <Shortcut Id="ORShortCut" Name="name" Directory="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Description="desc" Advertise="yes" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" Icon="yyy.exe"> <Icon Id="yyy.exe" SourceFile="..\..\output\yyy.exe"/> </Shortcut> <Shortcut Advertise="yes" Id="ORDesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="name" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" Description="desc" Icon="yyy.exe"> </Shortcut> ... ... </File> .... .... </Component> ... ... </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> On this way, a Shotcut to my application will be created on the Desktop and in the Start/Programm/.../ menu. They will also work fine. Now the problem is, when I copy the shortcut for example from the desktop to the windows quick-start or the win7 taskbar and then I will update the application the copy of the shortcut will not working after. Is there a setting, which i can set or can anybody tell me, what i have to looking for?
