Shell verb's executable must be its component's key path for MSI

The indicated shell verb object's executable file must be linked to a component for installation by MSI. Furthermore, the file must be the key object for that component.

Background information

Under MSI, shell verbs are linked to file extensions, which are in turn associated with applications and components. In InstallMate, this requires that all shell verb objects are linked to the same executable file and that this executable file is under control of a component.

Solution

Make the executable file its component's Key path by doing the following:

  1. Go to the Components project page.
  2. Select the component that is associated with the shell verb's executable file.
  3. In the component's contents list, right-click on the executable file, then choose Set as Key Path from the popup menu.
