You select the Repair Office option in Maintenance Mode setup, click the Repair errors in my Office installation option, and then you select the Restore My Shortcuts check box. In this situation, you would have to recreate your custom, non-Windows Installer, shortcuts. The advantage of this approach is that the custom shortcuts created by the CIW will be Windows Installer shortcuts, so you will have custom shortcuts, but you will also take advantage of the features offered by the Windows Installer. In Step 2 of the CIW, locate and select Data1.msi from your installation source. In Step 11 of the CIW, select the shortcut you want to customize and click Modify .
Icon Make the changes to the shortcut properties and then click OK .
Repeat Steps 4-6 for each of the shortcuts you want to customize. Click Finish . They allow the Windows Installer to auto-repair programs when started. All rights reserved. Terms of Use.
