Create Shortcut using Checkbox with Wix toolset

I am trying to create a shortcut which will only be created when the user checks a checkbox.

i have tried to create a property

<Property Id ="INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT" Secure="yes" />

then i created a checkbox which will change the value of this property.

<Control Id="InstallShortcutCheckbox" Type="CheckBox"
 X="20" Y="140" Width="200" Height="17"
 Property="INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT" CheckBoxValue="1"
 Text="Do you want to create a start menu shortcut?" />

then i added the shortcut tag

        <Component Id="DesktopShortcut" Condition="INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT">
            <CreateFolder/>
            <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Secops Solutions, Inc\Agent\Install" >
                <RegistryValue Name="DTSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/>
            </RegistryKey>
            <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
            Name="Life Balance" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER"
            Icon="icon" Target="DesktopFile"/>
        </Component>

and i also tried to use advertise shortcut where i used two components and they both had different conditions like if

Condition = "INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT"

and the other one

Condition = "NOT INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT"

but that did not work either. so i have been trying to fix this and i see the shortcut in the orca editior but it doesn't still doesn't create the shortcut.

Solution

i fixed the problem.

 <Component Id="DesktopShortcut" Condition="INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT">
            <CreateFolder/>
            <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Secops Solutions, Inc\Agent\Install" >
                <RegistryValue Name="DTSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/>
            </RegistryKey>
            <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
            Name="Life Balance" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER"
            Icon="icon" Target="DesktopFile"/>
        </Component>

in this code i had to change the target as following

 <Component Id="DesktopShortcut" Condition="INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT">
            <CreateFolder/>
            <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Secops Solutions, Inc\Agent\Install" >
                <RegistryValue Name="DTSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/>
            </RegistryKey>
            <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder"
            Name="Life Balance" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER"
            Icon="icon" Target="[#DesktopFile]"/>
        </Component>

in this just change the Target to

Target=[#DesktopFile] which is the id of the file.
