Hi All,
I have the below directory structure:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ENERGYSOLUTIONS" Name="$(var.rootFolder)">
<Directory Id='PFWLOCAL' Name="$(var.installFolder)">
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop">
<Component Id="PFWLocalClientShortcutDesktopCmp"
Guid="{D24360C2-0D40-4CA9-BD9C-874D7DFEB5B1}">
<Shortcut Id="PFWLocalClientShortcutDesktop"
Name="$(var.installFolder)" Target="[PFWLOCAL]PFWLocalClient.exe"
Description='Launch Pipeline Framework'
WorkingDirectory='PFWLOCAL' Icon='PFWLocalClientIcon.ico'>
</Shortcut>
<RemoveFolder Id="DesktopFolder" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\PipelineFramework" Name="PFWLocalClientShortcutdesktop"
Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
And i am using the built in WIX UI as below:
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="PFWLOCAL" />
In the desktop shortcut i am creating above, i want that the name
attribute of the shortcut be picked up same as the name of the directory
the user wants to install to, for instance he might change the default
directory, in that case the name of the shortcut should be same as the
directory user has supplied. Please let me know how we can achieve the same.

Suvra Jyoti
