In my experience, when the shortcut does not target an exe, (in my case a pdf and in your example both txt and docx files), even though the Shortcut/@WorkingDirectory value is set in the wxs, the 'Start In' field is blank in the properties page for the shortcut. It is my understanding that this is the intended design of Windows and it is related to mitigating certain security concerns. I do not believe it to be a WIX issue. Correct me if I am wrong.
When the Shortcut element is a child of a File element which is a Keypath to the Component, then the registry key is not needed. However if the Shortcut is not advertised and not related to some other keypath then a registry key is used as the keypath. In your code you have a RemoveFolder element on the DesktopFolder. I have not needed to do that and am not sure how wise that is. Maybe it does not matter, I do not know. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WiX-missing-Start-In-property-in-desktop-shortcut-tp7594368p7594444.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
