Borland has a "msi.h" that contains the Microsoft Installer SDK version 1.0
definitions for MsiGetComponentPathA and MsiGetComponentPathW.

According to the MSDN, MsiGetShortcutTarget requries Microsoft Installer SDK
version 1.1 or later.

I ended up going back to the IShellLink functions to get it to work.
Figuring out how to resolve the MS Office App Shortcuts was difficult, but
in the end it turned out to be pretty simple.  Once you get a pidl from
GetIDList, you call SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, target).

               hres = pShLink->GetIDList(&pidl);
               if (SUCCEEDED(hres))
               {
                  SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, target);
               }

Thanks for your help!
