Hi, I saw someone replied how to refresh Desktop using C/C++, such as, SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() and SHChangeNotify().
Is there any way to do the same within "Basic MSI"?
TIA.

Just launch an EXE custom action with an EXE that sends the appropriate windows message. I believe I have such an exe stored somewhere, will try to dig it up when I get to the computer that has the files.

Hello Stein,
Thank you for your support. Well, I can create the EXE so please do not bother to send it to me. As you already replied to my other question, I had a problem using an EXE, so I was reluctant to use another EXE as a custom action. That's why I posted it yesterday to find if there is another way to accomplish refreshing the desktop without using an EXE as a custom action.
Thank you again for your time and advice.
