Hi,

I am just porting one of our setup projects from "Visual Studio Setup & 
Deployment" to WiX. So far everything looks good, but I have one major problem. 

There is an "example" subdirectory in the installation directory. I have to 
install a shortcut to this directory in the start menu of Windows. I have 
already installed a lot of shortcuts to files, but I do not know how to install 
a shortcut to a directory.

I have already tried several approaches, but I am always getting error messages 
when building the WiX project, e.g.:

<DirectoryRef Id="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY">
      <Directory Id="API_DirExamples" Name="examples">
     ...
      </Directory>
      <Component Id="Test" Guid="634c82e9-8adc-48cd-b054-ca2365a95b66">
          <Shortcut Id="API_StartMenuExamples" Name="Examples" 
Directory="Main_DirStartMenu" Advertise="yes" />
       </Component>
 </Directory>

I am getting this error:

   error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'Test' is Directory: 
'API_DirExamples'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the 
CreateFolders table.

Adding a <RegistryValue> to the component results into other error messages.


Best regards,
  Marco
