Milan

Hi,

I have created deployment for my vb.net (2005) application.
In that i have one UDL file for which i have creayed shortcut in
programm menu.
I am facing one problem
If user change UDL file (after deploymnet ) name and try to click on
shortcut menu msi reinstalled udl file with the old file name. How to
avoid this ? It should open old file.

When you say "change UDL file" does that mean it was removed or just
updated? It sounds like the normal Windows Installer automatic repair is
being activated by use of the shortcut.

You can't absolutely prevent repair because the user can always right-click
the MSI file and choose Repair, and that will restore the file. You can edit
the MSI file to stop automatic repair with DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS set to 1 in
the property table of the MSI file, use Orca to do that.

The Platform SDK (called the Windows SDK lately). Install it from Orca.msi
in the bin directory.
