More on shortcuts...

[BPBNA]

I have an installer script that installs a peice of software I wrote for my company. When it runs, it puts a shortcut on the desktop with no problem but when I try to put one in the start menu it doesnt work. Heres my code.

FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\HEAT Seeker\HEATSeeker.exe", @DesktopDir & "\HEAT Seeker.lnk")
    FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\HEAT Seeker\HEATSeeker.exe", @StartMenuCommonDir & "\Programs\HEAT Seeker\HEAT Seeker.lnk")
    FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\HEAT Seeker\uninstall.exe", @StartMenuCommonDir & "\Programs\HEAT Seeker\Uninstall.lnk")

I cant see any syntax errors and the first FileCreateShortcut(the working one) looks the same as the bottom two(not working). Am I doing something wrong? I tried using @StartMenuDir and @StartMenuCommonDir.

You probably need to create the sub-directory first. I don't think FileCreateShortcut() will create the "HEATER Seeker" directory in the Start Menu.

That worked, thanks!
