HELP PLEASE! :(
What's wrong with this:
Target:: "[ProgramFilesFolder]Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" "[INSTALLDIR]Ev4Excel.xla"
I tried delete and add quotation mark but the shortcut is unknown type.
Thanks for the one who could help ! :)
The "[ProgramFilesFolder]Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE is not included in my package but its already in the image.

Have you tried adding a backslash after ProgramFilesFolder?
[ProgramFilesFolder]\Microsoft Office\...
[ProgramFilesFolder]\Microsoft Office\...

I would suggest abandoning prefixing the actual target file with a path to Excel, because that way, you restrict its operation to the Excel version you currently have. As soon as you upgrade Office, your shortcut is broken and you'll have to revisit every machine to fix it. Done like this instead:
Target:: "[INSTALLDIR]Ev4Excel.xla"
it can run with any supported version of Excel. It should work OK, since the Office install associates the .XLA file type with the Excel executable.
Target:: "[INSTALLDIR]Ev4Excel.xla"
it can run with any supported version of Excel. It should work OK, since the Office install associates the .XLA file type with the Excel executable.

But I need to have 2 target. The add in (Ev4Excel.xla) is in different location. How do i make it works with ms office 2007 and 2010 at the same time? Because in legacy after I launch the shortcut it also open MS Office excel sheet.

I'd use a Set Property Custom Action to create a property for the destination folder conditioned on the OS.
