Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut to Folder example
I have tried to get simple Shortcut from menus to Folder (no file). But somehow I always fails. I can get it to file. Could someone give me little example? I have tried Target=[DirectoryID], as I think should work, but no success for me. I've got something like this: Component Id=... Guid=... ... Shortcut Id=Shortcut.SharedFiles Name=My Shared Files Target=[MySharedDocuments] Directory=StartMenu.MyProduct Show=normal / /Component Which (under WiX3 at least) seems to work fine.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut to Folder example
my version(s) of WIX: 3.0.2925 and 3.0.4318 (tried this too, but I use visual studio 2005 to build packages with WIX, 3.0.4318 error/warning outputs are not very good, for some reason, it gives only error codes line number, but no the possible reason string why it gives an error). I think, my problem is very silly now.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut to Folder example
Just to step back a bit what problem do you see? Does the source build ok, if it does do you get an error on install or do you see and error with the shortcut?

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut to Folder example
No more problems. Registry key's root was just incorrect. When I changed back to 3.0.2925, I could see real error string. Not sure why, but in non advertised shortcuts there must be registry key to HKCU, but that solved the problem. Timo Neil Sleightholm wrote: Just to step back a bit what problem do you see?
