The destination folder, or a file from the MSI or transform. This property can be set to one
of the following values:
• File from MSI Package—Used if the shortcut is to a file that is part of the base
Windows Installer package.
•
File from System—Used if the shortcut is to a file that already exists on the target
system. It may also be from the transform file.
•
Destination Folder—Used if the shortcut points to a folder rather than a file. The
folder can be on the target system, from the MSI package, or from the transform.
• Advertised shortcut—Used if you want this to be a shortcut to an "advertised"
feature. Advertised features are not installed immediately during the setup process.
Instead, they are installed when requested. The shortcut makes it appear that the
feature is already installed, although it is not installed until the end user requests it.
