Vista Game Explorer
Has anyone used InstallShield 2009 to have a dual short-cut installation??
The normal "Program Files\Company\Game\Game.exe" for Windows XP... and then for Windows Vista install a short-cut in the Games Explorer... utilizing the GDF creation tool with DirectX?
The online help for Microsoft little vague and I can't figure out how to get the InstallShield installation to install correctly on both XP and Vista.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks...

Cannot say that I have ever done that, and I have done some funky things with shortcuts.

I've never done it but I know the WiX people ( Bob Arnson works in the games division or whatever it's called )

Basically it sounds like you need to write Custom Actions because this is yet another platform feature that MSI doesn't support.
