Hey All,
I'm trying to serialize an install package for InDesign CS6 for deployment. It works great from an installation standpoint, but it dumps all the program shortcuts in the root of the start menu and doesn't create any on the desktop. I took a look inside the generated MSI and it's not using the Shortcuts table, so I'm guessing the individual payload files for the apps are what are creating the shortcuts.
I've been googling regarding this, and all I've come across is an appdeploy(itninja) posting that mentioned using:
<Property name="StartMenuSubFolder">C:\documents and settings\all users\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\InDesign CS6</Property>
with CS5 in the optionXML file that is found in the binary table of the generated MSI. I extracted it with Insted, edited it accordingly, and reimported it. There is no change in the behavior of the install. Now, the problem with that, is that I cannot find where the person who mentioned they came across this property originally found it. So I don't have the full context to figure out why it isn't working. I don't know if this doesn't work with CS6 like it did in CS5, or if I have the property added to the correct code block in the xml.
Anyone able to shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
Garrett
