It installs with no problem.

If I convert this pwc package to an msi I get this error:

"...Warning: M4060: Could not find target %Program Files (x86)%\Atomic Clock Sync\Atomic.exe for shortcut in this package -- using literal target."

When I install the msi the shortcuts come up as "generic" windows icons and it fails to find the location of the program.

What looks like what is happening is that windows installer does not understand %Program Files (x86)% and is not interpreting this as "Program Files"

Is this correct?

How should I fix this?

Thanks

First, the Prism Version 8 MSI conversion tool attempts to convert Prism’s special folder variables (for example, Program Files, Program Data) to variables in the MSI package. Some of Prism's special folder variables are supported and converted correctly, but many are not. These instances produce conversion error 4087: “Found variable "<variable>": not supported by current version of MSI generator.”

Even when errors are reported in the Windows Installer Conversion Results window, a Windows Installer MSI file is created by the conversion tool. If the MSI file is installed as is, the settings within the unconverted special folders will not be installed, even though no errors are displayed during installation. Therefore, files that had conversion errors should not be used as is. Either find a remedy for the errors (perhaps by using Prism’s Paths Editor to change special folder variables to hard-coded locations) and recreate the MSI file.

Second, there is a known issue where shortcuts pointing to ICO files do not get converted to MSI properly. The options are to change the icon paths within the shortcuts to point to an EXE file containing icons, then recreate teh MSI. Or use the Prism Package to install the shortcuts.
