I've had trouble installing TracExplorer on Win7 x64. After dumping
the installation log, it fails here:

Action 11:10:55: WixCreateInternetShortcuts.
WixCreateInternetShortcuts: Error 0x80070005: failed to save shortcut
'{my user share}\AppData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
\TracExplorer\TracExplorer Online Documentation.lnk'
WixCreateInternetShortcuts: Error 0x80070005: failed to create URL
shortcut
CustomAction WixCreateInternetShortcuts returned actual error code
1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened
inside sandbox)
Action ended 11:10:55: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

After that, the install rolls back. I'd like to tweak the WiX
installer script to leave out the online doucmentation shortcut
anyway, but the source doesn't seem to be available any more.

Does anybody have a workaround, or current source for TracExplorer?
Thanks!

Hi,

you can find the sources at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vstrac/develop.
You can send a patch to this list and I would put it into the
repository.

Also, try and run the setup as Administrator - this might help.
