WiX安装选项开始菜单项

参考文档: How To: Create a Shortcut on the Start Menu，How To: Create an Uninstall Shortcut

制作的安装程序安装后，都要在开始菜单上生成一个应用程序的菜单，通常包括调用应用程序的快速入口和卸载应用程序项。下面取一个例子来看：

        </Directory>
      </Directory>

            <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut" 
                      Name="Minimal Test"  Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]payload.txt"
             WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"/>
            <Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
                  Name="Uninstall Minimal"
                    Description="Uninstalls My Application"
                  Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
                  Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/>

            <RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/>
            <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
          </Component>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
    </Directory>    

    <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Minimal" Level="1">
      <ComponentRef Id="Component1" />
      <ComponentRef Id="DTGACTest"/>

    <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLLOCATION" />
    <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
    <UI />
  </Product>
</Wix>

上面例子中开始菜单项的内容是这一段：

<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
        <Directory Id="MinimalStartMenuFolder" Name="Minimal">
          <Component Id="StartMenuFolder" Guid="B3AEC4C4-3F8E-4865-B87A-B750533776B5" >
            <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut" 
                      Name="Minimal Test"  Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]payload.txt"
             WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"/>
            <Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
                  Name="Uninstall Minimal"
                    Description="Uninstalls My Application"
                  Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
                  Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/>

            <RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/>
            <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
          </Component>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
    </Directory>    
开始菜单项和要安装的应用程序要分开放在不同的Directory里面，ProgramMenuFolder是标准的Windows开始菜单，第二个Directory将是在windows开始菜单下创建的一个菜单项，我们把它命名

为Minimal，菜单的快捷方式包括三个元素：一个是Component 元素是WiX安装元素的原子单位，Component元素下的Shortcut就是快捷菜单项了，RemoveFolder 元素保证在卸载应用程序的时候

做相关的清理工作。上面的例子中有两个快捷方式，一个是Minimal Test，另一个是Uninstall Minimal，这两个就是Windows开始菜单中所看到的菜单项了。

Windows Installer System64Folder 属性在32位的机器上被解析为System32 目录，在64位的机器上被解析为 SysWow64 目录.
