[wix-users] problems with startmenu shortcuts

[Ike Casteleyn]

Hi,

About the uninstall-shortcut not showing up.
That is not a problem.
I was looking for the dutch-description, but I had installed the english version.
Apparently I was blind several times.

The remaining problems are the small icon on the shortcut and the possibility to have a subfolder.


Best regards,
Ike Casteleyn

Onderwerp: [wix-users] problems with startmenu shortcuts

Hi,

I have a few problems with a few startmenu shortcuts.

Below you'll find a portion of my wxs-file.
=========================
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
    <Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="MyApp">
        <Component Id="ProgramMenuDir" Guid="FILL_GUID">
            <RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuDir" On="uninstall" />
            <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]" Type="string" Value="" KeyPath="yes" />

            <Shortcut Id="ShortcutWebsite" Name="!(loc.ShortcutWebsite)" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Target="[Prop_ShortcutWebsite]" Icon="ID_Website.ico" IconIndex="0" />
        </Component>

        <Directory Id="ProgramMenuDirDiv" Name="!(loc.ShortcutProgramMenuDirDiv)">
            <Component Id="ProgramMenuDirDiv" Guid="FILL_GUID">
                <RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuDirDiv" On="uninstall" />
                <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]" Type="string" Value="" KeyPath="yes" />

                <Shortcut Id="ShortcutFolder" Name="!(loc.ShortcutFolder)" Directory="ProgramMenuDirDiv" Target="[INSTALLDIR]" />
                <Shortcut Id="ShortcutUninstall" Name="!(loc.ShortcutUninstall)" Directory="ProgramMenuDirDiv" Target="[SystemFolder]msiexec.exe" Arguments="/x [ProductCode]" />
            </Component>
        </Directory>
    </Directory>
</Directory>

<!-- lot's more -->

<Icon Id="ID_Website.ico" SourceFile="web.ico" /> =========================

In this portion above, you'll notice I have 3 shortcuts (remove, website and installfolder) Installfolder is present and works as expected.
Remove is present (on disk), but is not shown in the startmenu Website is present and shown and works, however the icon is really small (like 16x16). I have tried by creating a icon with just the 32x32 in it, but the size remains the same

As an extra question:
You'll notice that I have created a subfolder "ProgramMenuDirDiv". Right now all the shortcuts in that folder are shown in the startmenu (but directly under the main "app", instead of a sort of subfolder). Is this possible?

Best regards,

Ike Casteleyn
