PDF File issues

I'm building an MSI which has some pdf documentation files in the start menu. If i build the MSI without the pdf files is builds without a problem, add these files and the build fails. I am creating a "simple" project.

Thanks

Re: PDF File issues

Hi,

You are encountering this behavior because you are using a PDF file as the icon source file for a shortcut. Note that you can use only valid ICO files, EXE files which contain an icon or DLL files which contain an icon.
