Hi,

  I have MSI with Shortuct. In installation dialog I have checkbox for shortcut. When I Install application and check/uncheck checkbox the shortcut is install/not install. It is correct. Wrong behaviour appers when:

 

  First I install application and checkbox is unchecked, so shortcut not will be installed.

  Second I run Modify Installation and checbox is checked, but after modify process the shortcut still not be present.

 

 

Technical details:

 Property Table"

...

"SHORTUCT1","1"

...
 

 Component Table:

  ...

  "DesktopFolder","{1F4A38F8-576D-4201-819C-4577DCFBF71D}","DesktopFolder","4","SHORTUCT1 = 1","registry","Windows\Profiles\Desktop"

  ...

 FeatureComponents

...

"Complete","DesktopFolder"

...

Registry Table

...

"registry","1","Software\XXX\Test","DesktopFolder","[INSTALLDIR]\TDM.exe","DesktopFolder"

...

 

 

I don't have Idea what is wrong. :-(

 

Thank you for your help

One, you don't list the content of the Shortcut table and two, 'Modify/Change' will only install Features which weren't installed first time around. It's incredibly unlikely that the MSI author put the installation of shortcuts into a feature.
