Problem with Shortcuts.
Hey there.

First of all thanks for this great piece of software, but I have ran into a problem with the shortcuts.

It can easily create the shortcuts, in the start menu, but when clicking on them it opens command promt, and closes again = something is wrong. I have looked though my code for some time now, and I don't see what is wrong?
For some reason the shortcut target will be

"C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\MENUEN~1\PROGRA~1\NEVERL~1\NEVERL~1.EXE"

Which don't exist? Can anyone help me?

Manual, 4.9.3.4 CreateShortCut:
$OUTDIR is used for the working directory. You can change it by using SetOutPath before creating the Shortcut.
