It creates the Internet Shortcut on the desktop and it has the IE icon, but the target is apparently "" since when I double-click on it I get the message.
Problem with Shortcut The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct. OK If I right click the icon on the desktop and choose Properties there is no Web Document tab like when I create an icon manually to the same URL. The rest of the log does seem to confirm a blank target. MSI (s) (AC:2C) [07:13:28:203]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=WixCreateInternetShortcuts,,) Action 7:13:28: WixCreateInternetShortcuts.
