We have some advertises and some that are not. I'll have to check if the apps
to the shortcuts that are advertised are the only ones that produce sxs in
the event viewer during installs. If so then I'll check to see what happens
if I turn advertisement off.
Thanks.

Coming back to this one just to see if there may be another reason for this
issue. Again it does not prevent out apps from running at the end of the
install, it is just an issue of seeing sxs errors in the Event Viewer.
I checked the app .exe manifest files and yes all the assemblies that are

No we are not doing nested installs. Since Wix does not support an admin
chain install that creates a output .msi we are using InstallShield to
create our chain installs to chain all out wix install projects.
We have quite a few wixlib 32 bit assemblies that we create to that gets
installed and

I don't know if this comment relates to your concern, but, after some
experimentation, I have interpreted the last paragraph in Remarks, at the
following link to indicate that my Icon/@Id should be formated with an
extension which is the same as the file which the shortcut targets. So even

An InstallShield chain of MSIs is the single transaction install, the
multi-package transaction where the whole transaction of multiple MSIs isn't
committed until the end. That seems to include committing assemblies
Yes that is basically what InstallShield is doing and again the only reason
that we are still supporting this is that we still have administrators that
push out our software by .msi only and therefore we had to support a multi
.msi package so that they only had to push out a single .msi file
Are the shortcuts advertised or not? The behavior of CreateShortCuts
is different in the advertised/non-advertised cases. If the shortcut
is advertised it's basically a pointer to the keypath of the
component, and that will result in a call to MsiProvideComponent () if
it's used. It's not

I am working on an issue that we are seeing when our WiX project creates
shortcuts to target files that require assemblies to be already installed
onto the machine.
Okay here is the issue. We run our install, all shortcuts are created and
the install completes without issues. The app and all
