From my experience I HAD to use: RegistryValue Root=HKCU Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]' Name=installed Type=integer Value=1 KeyPath=yes/ /Component when adding a shortcut on the desktop. (someone correct me if they have done it another way.) Unless I am reading it unclear you are not referencing the desktop folder in your directory id section. Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Directory Id=YOURDIR Name=NAMEOFYOURDIR/ *Directory Id =DesktopFolder Name=Desktop/* /Directory /Directory Your code updated. 1.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX missing 'Start In' property in desktop shortcut
The shortcut should be under the Component tag, not the file tag, as described in the Stack Overflow answer to your question there. If that's not working then you could supply a bit more info about what you've tried. --- Phil Wilson On Sun, Apr 27, 2014 at 11:18 PM, Satbir Singh ig.sat...@gmail.com wrote: I am working with WiX from last 5 month with no issues.
