Hello,
From what I have read:
1) .exe files must be in their own component and be the key file for that component
2) non-advertised shortcuts must use a registry key under HKCU as their key path, not a file.
When I repackage my application, it automatically configure my shortcuts pointing to .exe as advertised shortcuts, while other shortcuts are configured as non-advertised.
The advertised shortcuts belong to the same component as their target .exe files.
The non-advertised shortcuts are in separate components (not with the target)
Question:
How do I modify my package so that shortcuts pointing to .exe files become non-advertised? Do I have to remove the shortcuts from the target file component and create a new component with only the shortcut and the registry key?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
