Re: [WiX-users] What determines the order of shortcuts

2007-07-24 Thread John Hall
 

My understanding is that the order that shortcuts appear is
usually alphabetical. But ultimately it is a user-setting. Schortcut
groups are just folders and I believe that the arrange by setting
applies. 

Windows does store some special metadata about ordering though, since
you can drag items around into the order that you want. Take a look in
the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Men
uOrder\Start Menu\Programs.
 
Cheers,
John

[WiX-users] What determines the order of shortcuts

2007-07-23 Thread Ward, Mike (MED US)

I have two non-advertised shortcuts, each in a separate component. My
installer always installs these shortcuts in the opposite order I want.
I tried reordering statements without avail. It there a way to control
the order of shortcuts in the All Programs\Application folder?

Nope. Windows doesn't support that (to avoid abuse) so there's nothing 
MSI can do to control it.
