Hi,
I have a component with an advertised shortcut setup as follows:
<Component Guid="myguid" Id="myID" Shared="no" Permanent="no" DiskId="1">
<File Source="..\..\mydir\myfile.txt" Name="myfile.txt"
Id="myfile.txt" KeyPath="yes">
<Shortcut Name="My Text File" Id="myfilesct" Description="My
Text File" Directory="MyProgMenuFolder" Advertise="yes" />
</File>
</Component>
This gives me a blank icon. Is there a way to use default windows icons on
advertised shortcuts? I have tried using non-advertised (which works) but
it seems way over-complicated, and I still haven't resolved
per-user/per-machine issues with doing that.
I have seen examples that use the related executable to get the icon (e.g.
notepad.exe) but the side effect of that is it seems to package whatever
executable you choose into the MSI itself, and this also doesn't lend itself
to using the user's default icons.
Can someone please help to point out examples (either advertised or not)
that use the windows default icon and don't end up packing in a foreign
executable. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Troy Simpson
