I have a WiX project
and I want to automatically create a ProgramMenu
and Desktop shortcut. I've tried the following but the Desktop shortcut is not created. The ProgramMenu shortcut works great.

Whats wrong with the code? The ProgramMenu shortcut is working perfectly fine, but the desktop one is not getting created.
