CreateShortCut start in option ?
Hi,
Is option to set start in path missing because all rest of options to create fine working shortcut exists.
Problem is that i need to specify start in option different than default, which could look like "C:\Documents and Settings\example\Start Menu\Programs\example" depending of course $outdir settings. In my case i need explicitly set it different than $outdir.
Use case Java application which has manifest specifying class-path containing jar files which are pointing to the startup directory.

Maybe you could StrCpy $OUTDIR to $0, set $OUTDIR to your special path, create shortcut and reset $OUTDIR by SetOutPath $0.

Hi Florian,
Otherwise fine idea but $OUTDIR is required to make fully working shortcut. so i can't set it other than it is now.
So i still believe that CreateShortCut function lacks of one or two common options
currently existing ones
link.lnk
target.file
[parameters]
[icon.file]
[icon_index_number]
[start_options]
[keyboard_shortcut]
why not addd
[start_in]
and another one which is also missing
[comment]
now we would have all common options which shortcut can have.

Toni, the [start_in] string is automatically set to the current OutPath.

Okey then maybe someone could give me a hint
SetOutPath "$SMPROGRAMS\example"
;SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\lib"
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\example\Start SMail.lnk" \
"$5\bin\java.exe" \
'-jar -Duser.dir="$INSTDIR" "$INSTDIR\lib\example.jar" start' \
"$INSTDIR\example.ico" 0 SW_SHOWNORMAL
This case works if SetOutPath is exactly same than createshortcut link.lnk
If it is anything else than that installer will say error creating shortcut during installation process.
e.g. here i have SetOutPath pointing to the installation dir that will generate error during installation and shortcut wont't be generated.
So my question still is how to produce a working OUTDIR which is set into the start_in parameter and is different than link.lnk

SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\lib"
CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\example"
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\example\Start SMail.lnk" \
"$5\bin\java.exe" \
'-jar -Duser.dir="$INSTDIR" "$INSTDIR\lib\example.jar" start' \
"$INSTDIR\example.ico" 0 SW_SHOWNORMAL
Try that.
