This is how I do it:
<!--Setting up the shortcuts for the product-->
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="$(var.ShortcutName)">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuSubFolder" Name="LOGGERS">
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Component Id='LoggersShortcut'
Guid='2A6D411E-5CE9-4F38-8F25-361CBFCABB5A'
Directory='ProgramMenuSubFolder'>
<CreateFolder Directory="ProgramMenuSubFolder" />
<RemoveFolder Id='ProgramMenuSubFolder' On='uninstall'
Directory='ProgramMenuSubFolder'/>
<RegistryValue Root='HKCU'
Key='Software\ShortcutProperty\[PRODUCTNAME]' Type='string' Value='1'
KeyPath='yes' />
</Component>

Subject: [WiX-users] ProgramMenuFolder: Directory Shortcut
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
