I'm trying to write an installer for a Java program. I install a .jar file
and try to create a shortcut that will execute javaw.exe with the jar file
as its argument.

 

Using WIX 2, I include these specifications:

 

 <Component Id='MainExecutable' Guid='9f9c2e87-32a3-439f-84e4-f48c98be5ac0'>

   <File Id='jfilejar' Name='jfile.jar' DiskId='1' Source='jfile.jar'
Vital='yes'>

     <Shortcut Id="startmenujfile" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="jfile" 

               Target="javaw.exe" Arguments="-jar jfile.jar arg1 arg2"

               Icon="icon.ico" IconIndex="0" />

   </File>

 </Component>

 

When I run the installer, jfile.jar gets installed correctly and the
installer doesn’t complain about anythiing, but the shortcut is not created.

 

What do I do wrong?

 

Cheers,

Claus Tondering
