Hi All--
Thanks for the help I've recieved thus far. How do I set the working directory on a shortcut (the "Start In" edit control on the file's properties)? It always seems to use the start menu program group. this will cause problems with the application that I'm installing. I looked at the docu for the CreateShortCut command and it doesn't seem to cover setting this particular attribute.
Thanks for any help you may have to offer,

From CreateShortcut in the manual:
From CreateShortcut in the manual:
$OUTDIR is used for the working directory. You can change it by using SetOutPath before creating the Shortcut.-Stu

How the hell did I miss that?
Thanks for the pointer. Sorry to bother you all.

No matter, people seem to ask it quite often even though it's in writing.

I think what threw me is that when EclipseNSIS created the project, it set $OUTDIR to $SMPROGRAMS folder in the spot where it set up a couple of shortcuts automatically.
