Icon for shortcut

Question

Hi!

Could you tell me what is wrong in this code?? Why it doesn't work??

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <Icon Id="ikonka" SourceFile="Files\AdministKOB.exe"/>

  <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="DesktopFolder"/>
      <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
          <!--<Directory Id="MenuStartProduct" Name="Administrator KOB"/>-->
      </Directory>

      <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
            <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Administ_KOB">

                  <File Id="AdministKOB" Name="AdministKOB.exe" Source="Files\AdministKOB.exe" KeyPath="yes">

                    <Shortcut Advertise="yes"
                                  Id="DesktopShortcut"
                                  Directory="DesktopFolder"
                                  Name="AdministKOB"
                                  WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"

                                  Icon ="ikonka">

                    </Shortcut>

    <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="license.rtf" />
    <UI />
</Product>

I get this error and warnings:

The extension of Icon 'ikonka' for Shortcut 'DesktopShortcut' is not "exe" or "ico". The Icon will not be displayed correctly. Why?? I give ICO file.

The extension of Icon 'ikonka' for Shortcut 'DesktopShortcut' does not match the extension of the Key File for component 'ProductComponent'.

Have you any idea?? Thanks for all:) Jacek

Answer 1

You appear to be missing an Icon element.. e.g.

    <Icon Id="City.ico" SourceFile="City.ico" />
    <Component ...>
        <File ...>
            <Shortcut Advertise="yes"
                Id="DesktopShortcut"
                Directory="DesktopFolder"
                Name="AdministKOB"
                WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
                Description="Elektroniczna książka budynku"
                Icon ="City.ico" />
        </File>
    </Component>

Answer 2

I put tag on the top of my listing :) I use icon from exe file. Wix requires the same extension for file icon file and my file (shortcut on desktop)

Thanks for you attension :)
