[wix-users] Quotes in Property value

[Carlos Sosa]

Hello tried the Argument by itself but I would get the default dir in front (If I suppressed the target argument)
After testing a few things I ended using both as follows, (I did use the Argument tag) it is now working as expected:


<Property Id="myProperty"
                Value=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"" />
***********************************
<Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut"
                Name="MyApp" Target="[myProperty]" 
                Arguments=" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=bakjdbhddeoklmkjica"
                Icon ="icon.ico"/>


1000 Thanks for the pointer.
Best.

Try Shortcut/@Arguments. 

PS: SetProperty should be unnecessary.

Hello, I'm trying to create a shortcut pointing to the following URL (This forces a web page to open with Chrome even if Chrome is not the default):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"; --profile-directory=Default --app-id=boklmkjica

I'm doing this:

<SetProperty Id="URL" Value='"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id= boklmkjica' Sequence="execute"  Before="CreateShortcuts"/>

And calling it like:

   <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut"
                Name="HelloWorld"
                Target="[URL]"
                Icon ="icon.ico"/>


The Installer fails creating the short cut:
Warning 1909 Could not créate ShortCut
If I remove the " it creates the shortcut but it doesn't work I need to have the quotes.

Any help is appreciated.
Tnx.
