Shortcuts in the all users start menu group
Hi!

Can you please add an option to put shortcuts into the all users start menu group?

TIA

Solution
I know it's a bit of a workaround but here is the code that I created to do this:

;Create Shortcut
IfFileExists "$WINDIR\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" NTShortcut
CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\MyAppDir"
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\MyAppDir\myApp.lnk" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe" 0
Goto InstallComplete
NTShortcut:
CreateDirectory "$WINDIR\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\myAppDir"
CreateShortCut "$WINDIR\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\myAppDir\myApp.lnk" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe" 0
InstallComplete:

Hope that helps,

Matt.

ReadRegStr $OUTDIR HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" "Common Programs"
StrCmp $OUTDIR "" nocommon
CreateShortCut $OUTDIR\MyLink.lnk ...
nocommon:
SetOutPath $INSTDIR ; restore $OUTDIR
