    <p>As explained <a href="http://www.discussweb.com/c-programming/13643-advertised-shortcuts-installers-how-avoid.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, the Visual Studio can only create "advertised shortcuts" that uses the MSI file to check that all the files and registry values are present.</p> <p>In the same link you can find the solution : edit the MSI database to add a value in the Property table. I tested it, you just have to add "<strong>DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS</strong>" with the value "1".</p> <p>To add it, you can use the ORCA tool which is part of the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6A35AC14-2626-4846-BB51-DDCE49D6FFB6" rel="noreferrer">Windows Installer SDK</a>. This is the manual way... And I suppose you won't like it.</p> <p>So I looked further and found that you can do that with a command line and a VBS script provided by the Window Installer SDK :</p> <pre><code>Cscript WiRunSQL.vbs Test.msi "INSERT INTO `Property` (`Property`.`Property`,`Property`.`Value`) VALUES ('DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS',1)" </code></pre> <p>Now you just have to set a post build event for your setup project (it's a little different from "regular" projects, see <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/08/24/716145.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a>) in order to execute this script.</p> <p>It works very well for me !</p> <p>Additional resources :<br> <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370908%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSI property table reference</a><br> <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368562%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Edit MSI with command line</a></p>

    1. COThis is actually exactly what I was looking for. I ended up using my own solution (below) for what I was working on at the time because time was short. However, I've used your approach for an older installer package I've subsequently had to modify and will use it in the future! I was pretty excited that now only did you solve the problem, but you also told me how to automate it! Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
