Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut Question
Both of your Shortcuts are marked Advertise=yes. That means they are both pointing at the KeyPath of the Component.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut Question
If you make the Shortcut Advertise=yes and you put them all in one Component then yes, they will all point at the same file. You have a couple options. Make at least one of your Shortcuts not Advertised, or put the Files in different Components so that each of them are a KeyPath. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Will Burton Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 12:03 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
