Hi,
I've created two windows applications in one projectusing Visual Studio 2005. In the setup project I'm asking the user whether to install the "full version" (both applications) or the "limited version" (only app. #1), and the installation is according to the user selection. All this works fine.

The problem begins where I install the "full version" and have two shortcuts. (I forgot to mention that I have two different icons, one for each application, and that I have added two shortcuts to desktop with two icons and also two shortcuts to Program Files with two icons.)

What I want is:
-In case of "full version" - show only the icon of the full version
- In case of "limited version" - show only the icon of thelimited version

Thanks

It will depend on whether or not your two shortcuts are set up asAdvertised Shortcuts or not in the MSI package (check the Target column of the Shortcut Tablefor the two shortcuts in question). For Advertised Shortcuts you will need to ensure that the Target column for your two shortcuts don't point to the same Feature in the Feature table and that your user option to install the 'full version' or the 'limited version' only causes one of the two Features to be installed at a time.

If the shortcuts are not Advertised Shortcuts then you need to make sure that each shortcut is associated with a different MSI component (component_ column of the Shortcut Table) and that your user option to install the 'full version' or the 'limited version' only causes one of the components to be installed at a time.
