User Profile Problem: No shortcuts being created for all users...
Hi all,

First post, but I have read a lot of threads here with great insight, but I am having a problem getting my installer to install shortcuts to my program on the desktop and startmenu for all logged users.

For example, after installation, if I reboot and log into my computer using the login I used to install the program my shortcuts on the desktop and startmenu are there for me. However, if I log in under a different profile/username the shortcuts do not exist. How can I get the shortcuts to appear for every logged user? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks,
Craig


Hi,

you should use "SetShellVarContext all" before creating shortcuts, because the default value is for the current user.
