[WiX-users] InternetShortcut and public properties

[Chad P. <Cha...@ha...>]

Now that I'm past all my ICE errors I'm on to trying some new things.
Never was happy with the old Desktop shortcuts, so I want to use the new
InternetShortcut element. Here's what I'm trying to do.

<util:InternetShortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="Product" Type="url" Target="[TARGET1]" />

TARGET1 is coming from a Custom Action like this.

<CustomAction Id="TARGETURL1" Property="TARGET1"
Value="http://[WEBSERVER_NAME]:[PORT_NUMBER]/Product" />

<Custom Action="TARGETURL1" Before="CreateShortcuts" />

My verbose log file shows this.
