Hi Rob, Is the user group is still there?. I was wondering why nobody is replying. This was my question ans I am trying hard to create a simple shortcut for net.exe. When I start from the cmd prompt the service runs. However, It is not working. I also tried to create a custom action like the following and it still it did not showing up. I am describinfg two methods here. Both methods are not working. What should I do to create a short cut for an existing file which is already presnt in the windows/system32 directory?. 1) I am trying to create a shortcut for an existing filenet.exe in the Windows/system32 directory. I am not packaging this file with the install shield. I want just use this file to run Tomcat. I am using the following code. This looks like simple, however when I run the install shield, it does not create a short cut at all. I tried by creating a custom action and try to use the peroprty in the shortcut.

[WiX-users] Is there string manipulation in WIX?.
I could not find any topic which does string manipulation. I need to get the first part of the CD Key and install only and do some calculation and then install product(s) depending upon the calculation outcome. Can anybody think that it is easy or do I need to write a program in c or visual basic?. Thanks in advance, Venkat - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Thank you very much, that worked.

Yes. The ICE19 and ICE50 errors are complaining because the component had the registry as its key path rather than the file that's the target of the shortcut. Having one file per component simplifies that problem. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
