The office shortcuts are not in the same format as most shortcuts ans they do not get resolved correctly. Idon't have any information on fixing this problem.
You can always create a button directly from the executable

Yes, of course. And I've done it. But there must be some instructions inside those "icon executables" which finally launch the one. Maybe help on Installshield homepage?

the special shortcuts are microsoft shortcuts from Microsoft Office. They have nothing to do with Installshield. You will need to change manually for these shortcuts. I'm sorry if that is a problem for you.

Hello !
I've experimented the same problem in version 3.0.0 but not with an Office shortcut.
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{5C99DE48-C09C-42D3-A79B-FAE140895409}\humicon8.exe
The program is a X-windows emulator, called Exceed, and I can't launch the .exe because the shortcut makes a broadcast to all stations at startup to allow me to choose which machine I want to talk with...
By adding the quicklaunch icon/shortcut in launchmate and clicking on it, I've no results (no hang, no execution...) but launchmate remains alive, no need to restart 
I've not tried with the 4.0 version.
Regards.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a LM problem, but it occurs with LM: some of my Launch icons don't launch but instead elicit an error message: " The folder 'C:\|' does not exist. " It's a Windows Explorer box, with the red circle and white X inside it. I cannot find "C:\|" anywhere in my computer (it looks like a typo, but...). The "window" that is the error message contains three invisible characters, a lower-case Y with an umlaut above it and two black vertical bars (imagine squeezing four lower-case Ls together to make one). In the invisible window, these characters appear between "OK" (on the button) and "The folder...does not exist." This same error message has appeared a few times after I typed a command into the "Run" box (of the Start menu). [I'm using Win98se and LM3] Does anyone have any idea. . . ?

I've never seen that error make sure that your path is correct and that your working directory is correct as well.

Re: the "C:\| does not exist," if I choose "explore" instead of "open" as the action of the button on the properties sheet, the button works, so the path & directory I listed are okay. As I said, I searched my computer for the "C:\|" with the Windows "Find" tool, and I searched my registry with regedit, and "C:\|" doesn't exist. So where does the error-message-box get the "C:\|" from? (I don't believe in poultergeists but I'll try any anti-poultergeist spells you recommend.)

that's odd that explore works and open does not. I wish I could be of more help but I have no idea what is happening.
