Problems with deleting Startmenu entries
hey people

i want to delete the startmenufolder/entries of my program. when the user selected the default value, then there is no problem but if not my uninstaller always tries to delete the default folder

!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "testfolder"
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT "HKLM" 
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY "Software\myapp" 
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "Start Menu Folder"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $STARTMENU_FOLDER

and in the uninstaller:

; Removing Startmenu entries
!insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_GETFOLDER Application $MUI_TEMP

  SetShellVarContext all
  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS\$MUI_TEMP\$(strOnlineHelp).url"

  RMDir  "$SMPROGRAMS\$MUI_TEMP"

Re: Problems with deleting Startmenu entries
If I know right, this is the default : SetShellVarContext current
And the "all" and the "current" is in different folder, so try this:

  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS\$MUI_TEMP\$(strOnlineHelp).url"

or this

  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS\$MUI_TEMP\$(strOnlineHelp).url"
  SetShellVarContext all
  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS\$MUI_TEMP\$(strOnlineHelp).url"
