All advertised entries (CLSID, ProgId, Shortcuts) are implemented via a
mechanism that places an encoded version of the ProductCode, ComponentCode,
and FeatureId into the entry-point. A "health check" is made of the
indicated feature, and after it runs (possibly repairing, if needed) the
keypath of the indicated component is then called.
TargetProperty doesn't point to the component's keypath. It points to some
arbitrary binary instead. There is no place for Windows Installer to encode
that into the three fields listed above.
If you want to point to some arbitrary code (that you may not have
installed) somewhere, you have to us an unadvertised entry. It would be up
to the code at that entry to check for your code (using
MsiProvideComponent()) to obtain the benefits associated with advertised
entry points.

Subject: [WiX-users] CNDL0019
I have a question on Verbs.
"Error CNDL0019 : The Verb/@TargetProperty attribute cannot be specified
because the element is advertised."
The WiX manual does not say *why* I cannot use Verb/@TargetProperty with
advertised ProgIDs.
(1) Why can't I use this combination?
(2) What program will the computer execute when invoking this verbs of
adverties ProgIDs?
(3) How to tell the computer that it shall execute a particular (already
installed) EXE instead of anything that comes with my .msi file?
Thanks
Markus
