| | Re: Advertised Shortcuts in a setup and deployment project Get hold of Orca from the Windows SDK, install from Orca.msi. Use it to open your built MSI file, go to the Property table. Add a new row, property name case-sensitive DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS and give it a value of 1. Save the MSI file. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368297.aspx -- Phil Wilson [MVP Windows Installer] "Pat" <Pat@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:911FF055-782D-4F1F-A6E9-7D3736CA7AB4@xxxxxx Quote: > How can I create a setup and deploment project which does not create > Advertised Shortcuts. |

| | Re: Advertised Shortcuts in a setup and deployment project No it's not. This should be in a FAQ somewhere, but VS setup projects simply do not offer IDE support to all the features of Windows Installer. If you want IDE support for more than one feature, custom actions in the UI sequence, your own custom dialogs, support for patches, non-advertised shortcuts etc etc then go for another tool. That's why InstallShield, Wise, Wix, Advanced Installer and so on are in business. -- Phil Wilson [MVP Windows Installer] "Pat" <Pat@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FCF38B0F-634D-4620-BF3F-6DAB138FC081@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks Phil, But do you know if it is possible to do this in the Visual > Studio Setup and Deployment project? > > > > "Phil Wilson" wrote: > Quote: >> Get hold of Orca from the Windows SDK, install from Orca.msi. >> Use it to open your built MSI file, go to the Property table. >> Add a new row, property name case-sensitive DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS and give >> it >> a value of 1. >> Save the MSI file. >> >> http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368297.aspx >> >> >> -- >> Phil Wilson >> [MVP Windows Installer] >> >> "Pat" <Pat@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:911FF055-782D-4F1F-A6E9-7D3736CA7AB4@xxxxxx Quote: >> > How can I create a setup and deploment project which does not create >> > Advertised Shortcuts. >> >> |
