Nested Start Menu Shortcuts and icons

Hi

Very new to this!

Love the application but having problems with creating nested shortcuts on the Start Menu. Work fine within root, but want the shortcuts created within a folder thats within another folder...had a look at StartMenu.nsi but can't figure it out.

Also looking to attach an .ico file to the .exe shortcut...tried CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\appName.lnk" "$INSTDIR\app.exe" "$INSTDIR\appIcon.ico"

but not working...any ideas?

Thank you, Mark

you might have to create the directory in the startmenu first, i had problems with that myself.. wondering why the command doesn't create the directory automatically.
