Thanks Pally.
It doesn't seem to be working for some reason, whether the initial
install has them turned off or on, I never seem to be able to change
it. Everything I've read seems to indicate that it should work so I'll
look over it all again - but in the meantime, here is what I have:
<DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
<Component Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut.Component" Guid="{removed}"
Transitive="yes">
<Condition>INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT</Condition>
<Shortcut Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut"
Name="MyApp"
Description="MyApp"
Target="[APPLICATIONFOLDER]myapp.exe"
WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\MyApp\MyApp"
Name="desktopshortcut" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
And in the feature:
<Feature Id="MyApp.Feature" Title="MyApp" Level="1" Display="expand"
ConfigurableDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" AllowAdvertise="yes">
..
..
<ComponentRef Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut.Component" />
</Feature>
I must be missing something.
Thanks,
Mark.
