My base product installer creates a desktop shortcut "MyApp" (MyApp.lnk). (key name NewShortcut1)
My patch installer creates a shortcut "MyApp SP1" (MyApp SP1.lnk) (key name NewShortcut1) I just changed the display name.
From what I understand from googling about that, I need to use the direct editor and add an entry in the "RemoveFile" table; the documentation is not really clear about how this beast should be used.
I created an entry like this:
FileKey: remove_old_shortcut Component_: bin_exe (this is the component in which the shortcut is created, as seen in the shortcut property) FileName: MyApp SP1.lnk DirProperty: DesktopFolder InstallMode: 1
Question: FileKey: Is this (should it be) the key name of the shortcut ? or is it the file key of the table entry ? InstallMode: when I install the patch, I assume I need to delete the old shortcut which is when I put 1 (install when the component is installed ?)
