I was getting an error with CreateShortcut "$SMPROGRAMS\Program\Link.lnk" "$INSTDIR\PROGRAM.EXE", and I believe someone else around here was having the same problem with a client.

I've figured the problem out. You need to CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\Program" first.

Is this a bug? Surely you should be able to create a shortcut in a non-existent directory and have the directory created automatically?

hi,

IMO thats no bug, it behaves like the File command, as a link (*.lnk) is nothin but a file.

simply use setoutpath as you would do it with the file command.
