windows installer installs uses .LNK files where it should use .URL files

[Samuel Bronson]

The Windows installer inappropriately uses .LNK (Windows shortcut) files rather than .URL ("Internet Shortcut") files for the start-menu group entries named "Bazaar Home Page" and "TortoiseBzr Documentation".

In the case of "Bazaar Home Page.lnk", it's especially odd because the shortcut points to "C:\Program Files\Bazaar\bazaar.url", which (with another name) is what should have been installed in the start menu group.

Anyway, the *reason* this is bad is that it can break dragging into the browser. For example, when I drag either shortcut from the start menu into Firefox Portable (Firefox configured to be run directly from e.g. a USB stick; it should be obvious that this is ordinarily never the default browser), the URL bar just displays the file:// URL of the shortcut, and:

1) in the case of "Bazaar Home Page" I see:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://bazaar.canonical.com/
Hotkey=0
IconIndex=0
IconFile=
WorkingDirectory=
ShowCommand=1

2) In the case of "TortoiseBZR documentation", I see the documentation, but if I click on a link, the browser navigates to something like file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Start%20Menu/Programs/Bazaar/intro.html (which obviously does not exist).

"In the case of "TortoiseBZR documentation", I see the documentation, but if I click on a link," -- what's the link? As I can see the URL in Start Menu works correctly.

I've fixed URL creation. It should be in the next bzr installer (bzr 2.2.1 expected Sept. 16, 2010)

For any bugs about TortoiseBzr documentation, please file a separate bug report, and assign it to tortoisebzr project first.
