$SMPROGRAMS - no folder at start menu
I have written a script for a Russian install. Unfortunately, he doesn't create me any folder in the start menu.

I test the setup on a German Windows - code page / language settings in Windows are changed to Russian.

What’s wrong?

CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\Cyrillic text"
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\Cyrillic text\Cyrillic text.lnk" "$INSTDIR\start.exe"


Cyrillic text means there are cyrillic signs

There's a crucial detail I can't t understand from your post. Did you or did you not change the code page to Russian using the Regional and Language Options control panel?
