Archive: MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER does nothing


MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER does nothing
When I try to use the MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER the value I enter does not seem to take affect. I am not sure if it is my issue or a problem with the MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU macro.

I use it as follows:

!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "MyFolder"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT "HKCU"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY "Software\MyFolder"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "Start Menu Folder"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $STARTMENU_FOLDER

When the start menu page shows up my Name shows up as the folder.

Should the above code work?


Make sure the registry key you point to using the other defines is empty. It probably contains a value from a prior installation.
