Hi I have an installer with 2 features. Each feature has an EXE. I only allow per-machine installation, and not per-user. I want to create a folder in All Users\Start Menu\Programs, which contains shortcuts to both EXEs. I also want to make that folder optional, with a property controlled by a checkbox in the CustomizeDlg.
I am faced with 2 problems: 1) I added a Directory "ProgramMenuFolder", another Directory inside it "ProgramMenuDir" and a Component with a RemoveFolder item (on uninstall). I followed the instructions in the tutorial, with the exception that I didn't copy the RegistryValue member of the Component. Light is giving me an error "ProgramMenuDir installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath". But the thing is I want to install to the global Programs menu, not the user-specific (my ALLUSERS is set to 1). Why is it asking to write to HKCU? Maybe instead of ProgramMenuFolder I should be using something like CommonProgramMenuFolder? BTW, even if I add the HKCU key path, I get an error later in the component that contains the shortcut: "ICE43: Component Blah has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.". So again with the registry key paths. 2) I want the shortcut to be installed only if certain property is set (from the checkbox). I can do that by creating a separate component with just the shortcut in it, and add a condition to the component. However it looks like I can't have a component with just a shortcut. The Shortcut element has no KeyPath property and I get an error about the missing KeyPath. So how do I create a component with just a single shortcut inside? Any ideas how to do what I need, and is it even possible?
