Yes I did what's in it but still I keep getting error messages. I'll elaborate what exactly I did.
I have a directory in "C:\ProgramData\MT\STR" and I want to place a short cut to this "STR" directory on Desktop using the installation. I placed the following code in the <Directory> structure. <!-- Desktop Shortcut --> <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"/> <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder" Name="ProgramDataFolder"/> <Component Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut" Guid="{8436995c-2e76-4030-b92d-c6b4bc243c43}"> <Shortcut Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="BSStrage" Description="Shortcut To BSStrage" Target="[CommonAppDataFolder]\MT\STR"/> </Component> First I want to know if the parameters I've set are correct. Are the two parameters Directory="DesktopFolder" and Target="[CommonAppDataFolder]\MT\STR" correct? I believe that the ID of the above mentioned C:\ProgramData folder is correct? But now I get two error messages as follows: Error 1. ICE43: Component ComponentBSStrageShortcut has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. Error 2. ICE57: Component 'ComponentBSStrageShortcut' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath. What am I doing wrong and how can I make this work? Please help me with the correct code if possible. I went through a lot of examples/tutorials and such but couldn't fix it. Help is greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Desktop-Shortcut-to-a-Folder-tp4906239p4929597.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
