Hey first: see https://github.com/qtproject/installer-framework/blob/master/examples/startmenu/packages/org.qtproject.ifw.example/meta/installscript.qs
If you compare yours and the small example you can see that we create the operation inside the createOperations method/hook. The reason is that the ui where the user can change the startmenu link location is called after the javascript component constructor. The createOperations method/hook is called just before the real installation starts. So your problem is fixed if you use that from the example. Further explanation ... your use and the bug https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTIFW-346 created your found unexpected behaviour. The default value of the startmenu is set after the constructor of the component in fact in the ui and this needs to be changed.

The _config.xml_ contains: ... <StartMenuDir>my_verdor/my_app</StartMenuDir> ... and the _installscript.qs_: function Component() { var programFiles = installer.environmentVariable("ProgramFiles"); if(programFiles!="") install.setValue("TargetDir", programFiles + "/my_vendor/my_app); if(install.value("os")==="win") { component.addOperation("CreateShortCut", "@TargetDir@/my_app.exe", installer.value("StartMenuDir")+"/my_app.lnk"); } } According to the manual, this should create a group in the start menu that contain shortcut to my_app, but every time i run the installer program, it just create a folder called "my_vendor/my_app" contain shortcut *in where the installer was located*. Someone would help? _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
