Basic MSI; create shortcut to html file?
I'm trying to create a shortcut in the Start menu to my application's startup file which is an Html file that runs a java applet.
The Browse for Shortcut Target dialog seems only to want to select or allow a .exe file.
How do I do this?
Thanks

Is this an MSI project? If so, and you're trying to create an advertised shortcut, the target needs to be the key file of its component. Either create a "regular" shortcut, or make the HTML file a key file?

Robert thanks for the reply.
My project is a Basic MSI. What I need to do is create an internet shortcut on the start menu under my application menu. This wasn't clear from my first post.
The target looks something like
"http://targetServer/websiteName/folder/file.html"
Ideas appreciated.

MSI doesn't have anything built in for Internet shortcuts (.url files): please see the InstallShield help topic "Creating Internet Shortcuts".
