Thanks Rob for your reply.
I did read that post you made. Actually, I'm using that for our uninstall
shortcut. Thanks for that.
For the QuickLaunch, however, I do have "RemoveFolder" in the component. But I
still get ICE64 error.
Here I'd like to post my code again:
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="Microsoft" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="InternetExplorer" Name="Internet Explorer">
<Directory Id="QuickLaunchFolder" Name="Quick Launch" >
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
...... ...
<DirectoryRef Id="QuickLaunchFolder">
<Component Id="QuickLaunchShortcut"
Guid="32AB3786-02F5-45C8-9E6F-04A6041EB4FF">
<Condition>INSTALLQUICKLAUNCHSHORTCUT</Condition>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="MyCompany\MyApp"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Name="QuickLaunchSC" Value="1" Type="integer"
KeyPath="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
<Shortcut Id="QuickLaunchShortcut" Directory="QuickLaunchFolder"
Name="My App" ShortName="MyApp"
Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]$(var.FileOutput)"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveQuickLaunchFolder" On="uninstall"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
As what you can see, I do have "RemoveFolder" in the QuickLuanchShortcut
component. But I got errors when compile/link:
error LGHT0204: ICE64: The directory InternetExplorer is in the user profile
but is not listed in the RemoveFile table.
error LGHT0204: ICE64: The directory Microsoft is in the user profile but is
not listed in the RemoveFile table.
The problem is, the compiler/linker complains the "InternetExplorer" and
"Microsoft" directory.
So I made another effort - I added two more components for these two folders:
<DirectoryRef Id="InternetExplorer">
<Component Id="RemoveIEFolder"
Guid="134BA283-0ADA-444E-8348-829C61099CDB">
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveIEFolder" On="uninstall"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
<DirectoryRef Id="Microsoft">
<Component Id="RemoveMSFolder"
Guid="F1F366ED-2145-4B7A-9571-1C34C665BAF4">
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveMSFolder" On="uninstall"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
....
<ComponentRef Id="RemoveIEFolder" />
<ComponentRef Id="RemoveMSFolder" />
I compiled and linked.. it seems working.
But the problem is, these code try to remove the system folder which we really
shouldn't do. Just like what Neil ever said "To be honest I chose not to
include the RemoveFolder elements as it didn't seem correct to potentially
remove system folders"(in his post on Feb 04, 2009), I worry about if I'm doing
the right thing? Is there any risk or problem if I remove these system folder?
Thanks you all.

Thanks Neil.
I ignored the ICE64. The Quick Launch shortcut got created.
But the problem is, we're going to attend "Microsoft Vista Certified"
program soon. That means, sooner or later we'll have to fix this ICE64
issue. Otherwise, we can't pass MS's test. I spent hours in searching a
solution. But it seems there is no decent solution for this "Quick Launch
shortcut" thing.
So I'm asking the community again:
Is there any way that I can create the Quick Launch shortcut but not violate
ICE64?
Thank you all.

To be honest I chose not to include the RemoveFolder elements as it didn't
seem correct to potentially remove system folders and then I ignored the
ICE64!

Thanks Neil.
After hours searching, I found out this:
http://www.dizzymonkeydesign.com/blog/misc/adding-and-customizing-dlgs-in-wi
x-3/
I followed the instructions in the post above, and I added Desktop Shortcut
support successful.
But, when I tried to followed the same way to add "Quick Launch shortcut", I
got problems:
ICE64
Here is the code:
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="Microsoft" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="InternetExplorer" Name="Internet Explorer">
<Directory Id="QuickLaunchFolder" Name="Quick Launch" >
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
...... ...
<DirectoryRef Id="QuickLaunchFolder">
<Component Id="QuickLaunchShortcut"
Guid="32AB3786-02F5-45C8-9E6F-04A6041EB4FF">
<Condition>INSTALLQUICKLAUNCHSHORTCUT</Condition>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="MyCompany\MyApp"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Name="QuickLaunchSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
<Shortcut Id="QuickLaunchShortcut" Directory="QuickLaunchFolder"
Name="My App" ShortName="MyApp"
Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]$(var.FileOutput)"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveQuickLaunchFolder" On="uninstall"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
As you can see, I did add RemoveFolder for Component.But the compiler
complaint that:
error LGHT0204: ICE64: The directory InternetExplorer is in the user profile
but is not listed in the RemoveFile table.
error LGHT0204: ICE64: The directory Microsoft is in the user profile but is
not listed in the RemoveFile table.
Question:
What can I do to remove these errors?
Thanks.

For the desktop you can use a standard Windows Installer directory reference
(see the SDK). For quick launch the only way I have found is to use this:
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="Microsoft" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="InternetExplorer" Name="Internet Explorer">
<Directory Id="QuickLaunchFolder" Name="Quick Launch" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0: how to create Quick Launch shortcut and
Desktop shortcut?
Hi,
In WiX 3.0, is there a way to create a Quick Launch shortcut and Desktop
shortcut based on the user's choice?
I know there is a way to create a checkbox for "Launch Applition" option:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/run_program_after_install.htm
I'm wondering if there is a way to create a checkbox for "Quick Luanch
shortcut" and "Desktop shortcut" on the last page of installation.
Some code example are very welcome.
Thanks.
/Brian.
