Adding shortcut for WiX file in a different fragment.
- by matt
I'm using heat.exe to generate fragments similar to this:
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="id1" Guid="*">
<File Id="fid1" KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\Foo1.dll" />
</Component>
<Component Id="id2" Guid="*">
<File Id="fid2" KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\Foo2.dll" />
</Component>
<Component Id="id3" Guid="*">
<File Id="fid3" KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\Bar.exe" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<ComponentGroup Id="Components">
<ComponentRef Id="id1" />
<ComponentRef Id="id2" />
<ComponentRef Id="id3" />
</ComponentGroup>
</Fragment>
These fragments are stored in the auto-generated wxs file.
I'm then adding them into my feature (in the main WiX file) like so:
<ComponentGroupRef Id="Components"/>
This works fine.
However, I'd also like to add a shortcut to Bar.exe to my start menu.
I ideally want to do this in my main wix file, with the Bar.exe component still residing in the auto-generated wxs file.
How would I approach this problem without modifying the auto-generated code?
