I changed the code as follows: <!-- Desktop Shortcut Test --> <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"/> <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder" Name="ProgramDataFolder"/> <Component Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut" Guid="{8436995c-2e76-4030-b92d-c6b4bc243c43}"> <Shortcut Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Target="[CommonAppDataFolder]/MTK/BSStrage" Name="BSStrage" Show="normal"/> <RegistryValue Action="write" Key="SOFTWARE/MTK/BS" Root="HKCU" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" Value="ApplicationFolderName"/> </Component>
Now it places a shortcut on desktop, however there is a problem. It actually creates a Shortcut to "BSStrage" thinking that it is an application. However, "BSStrage" is actually a folder and I need to create a shortcut to this folder. So how can I tell Wix that BSStrage is a folder and I need a shortcut to it so that I'll be able to open it by double clicking it? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Desktop-Shortcut-to-a-Folder-tp4906239p4940633.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
