Title
Body
How do I create sub folders (several levels deep) in the Windows Start menu, using WiX? Currently I am able to put my shortcut in the Start menu, but only in a folder immediately under Programs (Start / Programs / MyFolder), but I want to nest my shortcut deeper (Start / Programs / MyPlatform / MyProduct / etc.). I tried different combinations, but alas. <DirectoryRef Id="StartMenuMyProduct"> <Component Id="ApplicationShortcut" Guid="{PUT-SOME-GUID-HERE}"> <Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut" Name="Configure My Product" Description="Add or remove this and that" Target="[MYPRODUCTDIR]ConfigureMyProduct.exe" WorkingDirectory="MYPRODUCTDIR"/> <RemoveFolder Id="StartMenuMyProduct" On="uninstall"/> <RemoveFolder Id="StartMenuMyPlatform" On="uninstall"/> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyPlatform\My Product" Name="Installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <!-- Shortcut to the configuration utility in the Windows Start menu --> <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"> <!--<Directory Id="StartMenuMyPlatform" Name="MyPlatform">--> <Directory Id="StartMenuMyProduct" Name="My Product" /> <!--</Directory>--> </Directory>
