I have looked around all day for solutions to this issue, but I couldn't find
anything that actually worked.
Here is what I had originally:-
<DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
<Component Id="SkyAdminDesktopShortcut"
Guid="E69C9AAC-3BB5-4730-B65A-976923D69821" Win64="$(var.is64bit)">
<Shortcut Id="SkyAdminDesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="AdminCon" LongName="LiveId Admin Console" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Target="[WindowsFolder]\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
Arguments="foo"/>
<CreateFolder/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
I got ICE38 and ICE43 errors:-
skyadminserver.wxs(20) : error LGHT0204 : ICE38: Component
SkyAdminDesktopShortcut installsto user profile. It must use a registry key
under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.
skyadminserver.wxs(20) : error LGHT0204 : ICE43: Component
SkyAdminDesktopShortcut has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry
key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.
I read up on this issue and based on what I could find this can be solved via
two different tacks:-
1. Set the shortcut to be an advertised shortcut. I didn't think this
will work; I tried it anyway and it didn't.
2. Add a registry entry under HKCU that acts as the key path for the
component. I tried this by adding the following:-
<RegistryValue Id="RegShortcutDesktop" Root="HKCU"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\$(var.GroupName)" Name="Installed" Value="1"
Type="integer" KeyPath="yes" />
Which resulted in:-
<DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
<Component Id="SkyAdminDesktopShortcut"
Guid="E69C9AAC-3BB5-4730-B65A-976923D69821" Win64="$(var.is64bit)">
<RegistryValue Id="RegShortcutDesktop" Root="HKCU"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\$(var.GroupName)" Name="Installed" Value="1"
Type="integer" KeyPath="yes" />
<Shortcut Id="SkyAdminDesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="AdminCon" LongName="LiveId Admin Console" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Target="[WindowsFolder]\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
Arguments="foo"/>
<CreateFolder/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
But that still didn't solve this problem. I get exactly the
same errors are the previous one. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
