I am creating shortcuts via the ShortCuts section of System Configuration. I want to create a shortcut to a readme.txt file. Seems simple enough, but when I try to build the project I'm getting the following error
ISDEV : error -3204: Cannot extract icon with index 0 from file , but the filename being picked up is a totally different file (not a txt, not an ico or dll file).
I deleted the shortcut, then re-created it. After the shortcut was created, I looked at the properties and it picked up the file from the error again.
Any ideas what I can look for? I'm trying to keep custom actions to a bare minimum with this project, unlike its predecessor.
In the end, what I ended up doing in the Shortcut view is removing the file name that had been picked up before I built my project.
My concern is that if InstallShield is picking up a random file to extract an icon for, even though a txt file should associate out to the standard txt icon. I shouldn't have to remember to do this every time I create a shortcut to a file that doesn't have an icon to go with it.
